I recently had a blood test, and my SGOT level came out as 44, while the normal range is 0 to 40. What does this elevated SGOT indicate, and should I be concerned?

Slightly raised SGOT (44) is not dangerous if SGPT is normal. Can happen after medicines, exercise, or mild infections. Repeat LFT after 1to2 weeks with a light diet.

Hi, I was experiencing high blood pressure and swelling in my face along with edema in my legs. My doctor advised me to get some tests done. All reports were normal except for my liver report. I am attaching my report. Please let me know what this means and how to treat it?

Hello Doctor. My sister child is 1 month old and has not gained weight. Doctors prescribed blood and urine tests, mainly related to the liver. I have attached the results. Can you please let me know what the issue is?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing a fever of around 100F for the past 7 days, along with constant headache, body aches, and intermittent chills. I am attaching my CBC, LFT, platelet count, malaria, fasting glucose, and urine test reports for your reference. I am particularly concerned about my LFT values: ALT/SGPT is 256 and AST/SGOT is 225, which seem very high. Please review and advise on the possible cause and next steps.
