Mildly raised ALT and AST indicate liver inflammation that is often reversible. Adopt a liver friendly diet, avoid alcohol and fatty foods. Repeat a Liver Function Test in 4 to 6 weeks. Review follow up results with your physician to guide ongoing care.

In my blood report, my ALT level is 108 and AST level is 59.2. I was diagnosed with jaundice a few years ago. Could my past jaundice be the reason for these elevated liver enzymes?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am having jaundice. Total bilirubin is 1.4, direct bilirubin is 0.4, and indirect bilirubin is 1. Is this normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had a blood test, and my SGOT level came out as 44, while the normal range is 0 to 40. What does this elevated SGOT indicate, and should I be concerned?
