I just got back my blood test results and Im a bit concerned. My SGOT level is at 50, SGPT is 83, and total bilirubin is 1.26. Could you give me some advice on how to lower my SGOT and SGPT levels? I'm really anxious to understand what these numbers mean and how I can improve them.

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help lower these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce SGOT and SGPT levels. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise regularly to support liver health.
