Does the LFT test result vary before and after taking food? Also, why are there contrasting results for tests done within a gap of 4 to 5 hours?

Yes, LFT can show slight fluctuation, but major variations within hours need retesting under fasting. Please repeat the LFT test fasting for consistency. Take this to rule out variability.

I would like to understand if my SGPT report is normal or if there is anything concerning in it. Although my doctor mentioned everything is normal, I want to be sure.

Hi, my eyes have a yellowish color. I suffered from jaundice about 10 years ago. However, my recent blood report shows no signs of jaundice. I am wondering why my eyes are still not white. What is the right course of action, and should I consult an eye specialist or a general physician? Please advise.

I just received my blood report, which shows SGOT/SGPT levels of 42 and 45.36. What do these values mean? I am currently in the 8th month of pregnancy and hoping for a normal delivery. I have also been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and high blood pressure during this pregnancy. Could you please advise if these liver enzyme levels are concerning and what I should do next?
