I am a diabetic female for the last 20 years. Recently I did a liver function test and my report shows bilirubin total 0.62, AST 62, ALT 40 and GGTP 100. Is this alarming? How can I reduce these levels? The rest of the report is normal.

Mild enzyme elevation in long term diabetes may suggest fatty liver. Limit fat and sugar intake. Weight control is key. Please take a repeat LFT and ultrasound.

I got my report today, and my SGPT is 185 while my SGOT is also high at 70. What does this mean. Is it harmful to my liver or does it indicate any problem.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently reviewed my blood tests and found the following issues dyslipidemia, elevated liver enzymes, grade 2 fatty liver on USG, and high uric acid. After one month of medication, my follow up report shows total cholesterol at 97, liver enzymes mostly normal (ALT slightly high but lower than before). However, I am experiencing significant weight loss and muscle loss, my current weight is 65 kg, down from 73 kg two months ago. My doctor has diagnosed these as post COVID effects, although I was asymptomatic and unaware of when I was infected.

I recently underwent a 61 point detailed health checkup. Most of my results were within the normal range, except for bilirubin in the liver function test, which came out to 2.53 mg/dL (normal range: 0 to 2.0 mg/dL).
