Elevated ALT (SGPT) levels, like your 49 reading, can be caused by various factors, including fatty liver, alcohol consumption, medication side effects, viral hepatitis, and liver damage from toxins or medications, and remedies to lower ALT levels include lifestyle changes like weight loss, exercise, and a balanced diet, as well as avoiding alcohol and hepatotoxic substances, managing underlying conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and considering supplements like vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids under medical guidance.

I'm worried because my SGPT levels aren't going down, although my SGOT levels are normal. I'm thinking about starting Liv52 to see if it helps lower my SGPT. How long should I keep taking it, and is it actually effective for this issue? Any advice would be really helpful.

SGPT (ALT) levels may not decrease quickly with Liv52 alone, as it primarily supports liver health but doesn't directly treat underlying causes. It's important to identify the cause of the elevated SGPT and follow your doctor's guidance. You can continue Liv52 for a few weeks, but a healthcare provider's advice is key.
