I recently had a blood test, and my results show: Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT, Photometry): 37.3 U/L Alanine Aminotransferase (SGPT, Photometry): 76.3 U/L The SGPT value is significantly above the upper normal limit. Could this indicate a liver problem? Please advise.

Slightly raised SGPT may suggest mild liver strain. Common causes include fatty liver, medications, or recent infection. Repeat test in 4 weeks and get an ultrasound if symptoms persist.

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.

My SGPT is 25, SGOT is 19, and alkaline phosphatase is 371. Bilirubin is 3.03. What could be the reason for high alkaline phosphatase? I have attached my report. If gallstones are the reason, what could be their size according to the report?
