I recently got my blood tests back, and I've noticed that my uric acid levels have been high for the last two cycles. My SGPT is at 55, which Ive heard is elevated. I'm not a frequent drinker, maybe just once every couple of weeks, and there's no family history of this either. What do you think might be going on, and should I be concerned about these results?

To address high uric acid levels and elevated SGPT (55), consider lifestyle modifications: increase water intake (8-10 glassesday), reduce dietary purine intake (organ meats, seafood, sugary drinks), limit fructose consumption, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight; also, consult your doctor to discuss potential medications, such as allopurinol for uric acid, and to investigate the cause of elevated SGPT, which may include further liver function tests or an ultrasound.
