Hello, my blood report shows SGOT 67. Is this a serious concern? Please suggest what I should do. I had earlier posted a question about a dry cough for the last month, and the doctor advised X-ray and blood tests. Everything came normal except SGOT elevated to 67. I work in the merchant navy, and if this does not get corrected, I may lose my job as I need to be medically fit every time I go on the ship. Please help. I am very worried about my health and job. Someone said there might be swelling in the liver, which is why the SGOT is 67.

SGOT of 67 is mildly high and may reflect liver strain, muscle stress, or recent meds. Since other tests are normal, avoid alcohol and fatty food. Recheck SGOT in 2 weeks.

My husband is 38 years old, recovering from COVID 19, and he has diabetes. His recent blood test results show a bilirubin level of 0.5, SGPT at 104, SGOT at 49, and a fasting blood sugar level of 214 mg per dL.

My child is 6 years old. Her blood report today at 3:00 PM shows SGOT at 281, SGPT at 210, and total bilirubin at 7.1. She has no vomiting and no fever. The doctor said it is not risky, but I am still very worried.

I recently reviewed my blood tests and found the following issues dyslipidemia, elevated liver enzymes, grade 2 fatty liver on USG, and high uric acid. After one month of medication, my follow up report shows total cholesterol at 97, liver enzymes mostly normal (ALT slightly high but lower than before). However, I am experiencing significant weight loss and muscle loss, my current weight is 65 kg, down from 73 kg two months ago. My doctor has diagnosed these as post COVID effects, although I was asymptomatic and unaware of when I was infected.
