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.

I just completed a 7 day alcohol detox. My recent blood test shows: ALT: 61 (normal range 1 to 33) AST: 69 (normal range 14 to 34) I am very worried about this. I have not had alcohol for 8 days and plan to continue staying sober. As I maintain sobriety, is it possible for these liver enzyme levels to return to the normal range and for me to live a healthy life? I have uploaded my blood report for reference.

I am experiencing frequent urination at night, but my urine test report is normal. My LFT report shows jaundice.

I recently had my LFT done, and my test report shows higher than normal values for SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT). I would like to know the possible causes and how to bring these levels back to normal.
