My SGPT level is 136 (normal range 21 to 72) and my SGOT level is 69 (normal range 17 to 59) according to the lab report. Is this a matter of concern? What treatment should I consider?

I recently did a liver function test, and my results are: Total Bilirubin: 1.38 mg/dL Direct Bilirubin: 0.37 mg/dL Indirect Bilirubin: 1.01 mg/dL AST (SGOT): 42 U/L ALT (SGPT): 78 U/L Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): 169 U/L Are these results serious, or can they improve with medication?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

What is SGOT? For me it is showing 42 IU/L which is more than normal in my report. Please explain whether I have any problem? It stands for serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase?

Answered by Apollo Doctors
