Sir, my liver function test shows SGPT 45, SGOT 53, total bilirubin 1.1, alkaline phosphatase normal, INR 0.95, A/G ratio normal, but my GGT is high. For context, I am an alcoholic. Please advise what this indicates and what steps I should take next.

Your SGPT and SGOT are slightly raised and GGT is high, which often happens due to alcohol use. Normal INR and A/G ratio are good signs liver is still working fine, but under stress. High GGT shows that your liver is irritated or inflamed. Best step is to stop alcohol fully and give the liver time to heal.

Take a LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT) Test or Take a GAMMA GLUTAMYL TRANFERASE (GGT) Test

Question

Hi, my report says SGPT 54, SGOT 106, fatty liver grade 2. I have a history of alcohol consumption (2 or 3 pegs a week). I also consume omega 6 capsule daily. I am following a diet but am confused about what to avoid. Currently, I am not taking any masala, salt, sugar, or any type of junk food. Any suggestions?

Question

My recent Liver Function Test results are as follows: Bilirubin Total: 0.65 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10) Bilirubin Direct: 0.17 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 0.20) Bilirubin Indirect: 0.48 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10) AST (SGOT): 28.5 U/L (Normal: 18.0 to 37.0) ALT (SGPT): 47.3 U/L (Normal: 0.0 to 40.0) Could you please explain what these results mean? Is there any concern, particularly with the ALT being slightly above normal?

Question

My ALT (SGPT) level is 131 in my lab report. Can you please suggest possible reasons for this and what should be done?
