Atoder (atorvastatin) is used to reduce LDL. Safe at 27 if liver function is monitored. History of jaundice warrants caution and regular LFTs.

Respected Doctor, I recently had a blood test, and my SGPT value is 64 U/L. Is this within the normal range, or should I be concerned?

My husband has had diabetes for one year and was diagnosed with fatty liver 6 months back. Recently, he did HbA1c, which shows 5.5, but random sugar was 177. Lipid profile shows triglycerides 317 and HDL 26. LFT shows conjugated bilirubin 0.6. Vitamin B12 shows 1046. I am very worried about these reports. Please explain if it is okay to have such values or if any further tests are needed to identify the cause of these elevated values. If not, how can these values be lowered?
