I'm dealing with some really intense anal itching at night and it's getting so bad that it's ruining my sleep. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's becoming unbearable. Could it be something serious, or is there a simple remedy I can try? What steps should I take to get some relief?

I recently did an SGPT test, and the value came back as 64. My SGOT and GGT reports are normal, though. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it okay?

An SGPT level of 64 is slightly elevated, which may indicate some liver inflammation or damage. To help lower your SGPT levels, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, it is important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy weight, and follow a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise can also help improve liver health.
