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.

I have white patches on both sides of my lips. It is not painful, but it does not look good. As suggested by a dermatologist, I have done an LFT test. Can you tell me if my LFT report is normal or if something is wrong?

Hi Doctor, My ALT is 84.8 and my GGT is 98.1. How can I reduce these levels? I have attached my liver test report. Please check and let me know if I am at risk. Is medication mandatory at these levels? Can a diet plan help reduce them? Is a liver transplant required? Please advise.
