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.

In my blood report, my ALT level is 108 and AST level is 59.2. I was diagnosed with jaundice a few years ago. Could my past jaundice be the reason for these elevated liver enzymes?

Hi Sir or Mam please review my report and I request you to let me know if I am having cirrhosis of the liver. Are my reports okay and what does it mean by diffusely coarse parenchymal echotexture and increase in parenchymal echogenicity? Thanks in advance.
