View allI've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?
An SGPT level of 81 above the normal range can indicate liver damage or inflammation. It is important to further investigate the cause of this elevation. In your case, obesity can contribute to liver issues. To address this, you can start with lifestyle modifications such as weight loss through diet and exercise.

I just had my company's annual fitness test, and it turns out my SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin levels are high. I don't have any symptoms, which is confusing. I've attached all my reports for you to see. Could you tell me what's going on and how I can bring those levels down?
Yes, sperm donation is a real thing and a vital option for individuals and couples struggling with infertility. It's not as simple as blood donation, as it involves a rigorous screening process, including medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. To donate sperm, you can visit a fertility clinic, sperm bank, or reproductive medicine center. Some well-known sperm banks include Cryos International, European Sperm Bank, and California Cryobank.
