Question 1

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.

Question 2

I am Nikhil, 26 years old. Three months ago, I had jaundice with SGPT 235 and SGOT 91, which returned to normal within 10 days. Now, I have jaundice again with SGPT 150 and SGOT 90, even though I have been following a proper diet. I have done tests for HBsAg, Anti HCV, and Anti HBc total, and all are normal. My ESR is 18. I am concerned about the repeated rise in liver enzymes. What could be the reason, and is this dangerous?

Question 3

I am experiencing fatigue, low energy even after sleep, and digestive problems. I have been diagnosed with an enlarged liver and a bilirubin level of 1.2. I also have diffuse bilateral colitis. Could these symptoms be related, and what should I do to improve my energy and digestion?

My report says I have a high AST to ALT ratio of 1.55 though the rest of the parameters are normal. Can someone please suggest if there is anything to worry about? I have attached my blood reports.

A slightly high AST to ALT ratio or De Ritis ratio may be due to muscle activity or minor liver changes. Since other liver parameters are normal, this is usually not serious. Maintain a healthy diet, avoid alcohol, and repeat the test if advised.
