I've noticed my SGOT is at 93 and SGPT is at 89, and it's got me a bit worried. What can I do to bring these levels down to a healthier range? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. Additionally, you can take Silymarin at a dosage recommended by your consulting doctor. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce inflammation. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet low in fat and sugar, and exercise regularly to support liver health.

View allI'm really concerned because I've been dealing with chronic constipation and gastritis for the last 25 years. It's been such a long time, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've noticed that my weight is 52 kgs, and I'm around 5 feet 6 inches tall. Is there something I might be missing or should be asking about? What steps can I take to improve my condition?
For chronic constipation, you can try taking Metamucil (psyllium) 1 tablespoon mixed with water once or twice daily can help regulate bowel movements. For gastritis, you can take Prilosec (omeprazole) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. It is also important to avoid spicy, acidic, and fatty foods that can trigger gastritis flare-ups.

I've just had some medical tests done and I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT came back at 92 and SGPT is 202. What do these numbers mean for my health? Are there ways to bring them back to a normal range? Should I be taking any specific medication? I don't have any other symptoms or issues, but would love some guidance.
SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are enzymes found in the liver. Elevated levels of these enzymes may indicate liver damage or inflammation. To reduce the levels within range, it is important to address the underlying cause. This may involve making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regularly. In terms of medication, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
