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.

Hello sir. I have had light colored stools for 4 months. My CT abdomen KUB, hemoglobin, electrolytes and LFT tests are all normal. What could be the problem? My alkaline phosphatase is low. I have attached my report.
