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.

My mother has been diagnosed with carcinoma in the gallbladder, with some spread to the liver. After undergoing liver surgery, she has developed ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen). Her recent blood reports show low albumin levels.

She has been feeling weak recently. Today I went to the lab, and some of her test results are high. Her report shows SGOT (AST) 62 and SGPT (ALT) 53. She also says she has pain on the left side of her abdomen. What could be the reason for this problem?
