Hey, I just got my Liver Function Test results and noticed some high readings: GGT at 243 and SGPT at 93. My ultrasound shows my liver is normal. What's going on here? My physician says everything's fine and no need to worry, but a doctor friend mentioned something called sugan in the liver. Could you help me make sense of this?

  1. Understanding Elevated Liver Enzymes

    • GGT and SGPT: These enzymes indicate liver function. Elevated levels can suggest liver stress or damage.
    • Common Causes: Alcohol use, medications, or non-visible fatty liver changes can elevate enzymes despite a normal ultrasound.
  2. Possible Reasons for Your Elevated GGT and SGPT

    • Factors: Consider alcohol, medications, or liver stressors. Non-liver causes like muscle injury or bile duct issues may also contribute.
  3. Clarifying 'Sugan' in the Liver

    • Explanation: 'Sugan' might be a colloquial term, possibly referring to 'fatty liver' or 'steatosis', which can elevate enzymes even if the ultrasound is normal.
  4. Next Steps and Recommendations

    • Further Evaluation: Consult your healthcare provider for repeat tests or additional imaging.
    • Lifestyle Advice: Avoid alcohol, review medications, and maintain a healthy diet.
    • Specialist Consultation: Consider seeing a hepatologist or gastroenterologist if needed.
