Hi, one of my LFT tests shows SGOT as 70 with a reference range of 15 to 37 and SGPT as 200 with a reference range of 16 to 63. Another lab test shows SGOT as 83 with a normal range of 0 to 40 and SGPT as 176 with a normal range of 0 to 36. Can someone please help me understand which values are worse? Is the second lab test worse than the first? Which values are higher?

Both labs show elevated liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT), even if ranges differ. Higher SGPT suggests liver stress possibly fatty liver, alcohol, or medicines. Do Liver Ultrasound and rule out hepatitis. Reduce oily food, alcohol, painkillers. Follow up with LFT after 2 weeks.

I am experiencing gas and acute constipation. My recent USG report is normal, but my blood tests show SGOT: 66 U/L and SGPT: 71 U/L. I have also noticed soiling on my feet and fingers.

About 10 days ago, I tested positive for typhoid. However, I did not have a fever, my main symptoms were weakness, vomiting, and gastric issues. My Typhi Dot IgM was positive, and the titre was slightly elevated. I took Doxcef O for 10 days and also received the typhoid vaccine. Despite this, I still feel like vomiting after eating, and I am experiencing leg pain and overall weakness. This is the first time I have had typhoid, and someone mentioned that I might have become a chronic carrier, which has made me anxious. Is this a serious issue, or can it be fully cured? How long does recovery usually take? I have attached my report for your review.
