My SGPT is 25, SGOT is 19, and alkaline phosphatase is 371. Bilirubin is 3.03. What could be the reason for high alkaline phosphatase? I have attached my report. If gallstones are the reason, what could be their size according to the report?

High ALP suggests a bile duct obstruction which could be suggestive of gallstones. For determining the size of the gallstone we need to perform GGT, USG Abdomen and liver functions test to find out the underlying cause.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a GGT Test (Gamma Glutamyl Tranferase) Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

Question

I had my gall bladder removed 6 weeks ago laparoscopically. I am taking a low fat diet and have had no problems till now. My report shows fatty changes in my liver and it is enlarged to 16.4 cm. My surgeon did not mention anything about it. I want to know the extent of this problem and whether it is worrisome. I want to know how to take care of my liver to reverse fatty changes, including foods to eat or avoid. Should I take any liver tonic? If yes, please recommend some. I am not taking any medicine currently. Lastly, can I take alcohol now in moderate quantity and occasionally. I am 23 years old, male, 5.10, 87 kg, with no diabetes or high blood pressure.

Question

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?
