I've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?

An SGPT level of 81 above the normal range can indicate liver damage or inflammation. It is important to further investigate the cause of this elevation. In your case, obesity can contribute to liver issues. To address this, you can start with lifestyle modifications such as weight loss through diet and exercise.

I recently got my blood test results back, and it shows my SGOT is at 43 and SGPT is 85, which seems higher than normal. Should I be concerned about this? I've had an ultrasound on my abdomen too, and it says I have a Grade 1 fatty liver. I do drink alcohol about once a week. How serious is this situation? What steps should I take next?
