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.

Raised LFT can be due to fatty liver, alcohol, or viral hepatitis. Please take an ultrasound abdomen and Hepatitis B and C panel. Take these to identify root cause.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test or Take a HCV Test (Hepatitis C Virus) Test

Book HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test Book HCV Test (Hepatitis C Virus) Test

My 16 year old daughter blood report shows the following: Total bilirubin 1.7, Direct bilirubin 1.0, Albumin 3.3, Globulin 1.7, Total protein 5.0, SGPT 90, SGOT 170, and Alkaline phosphatase 460. What does this report indicate?

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.
