Question 1

My blood report shows the following liver function values:
Total Bilirubin: 1.96 mg per dL
Direct Bilirubin: 0.19 mg per dL
Indirect Bilirubin: 1.8 mg per dL
SGPT (ALT): 28 U per L
SGOT (AST): 23 U per L
According to the report, my bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, while my liver enzymes are within normal range. My abdominal ultrasound shows Grade 1 fatty liver, and the rest of the findings are normal.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

What is SGOT? For me it is showing 42 IU/L which is more than normal in my report. Please explain whether I have any problem? It stands for serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase?

Sir, I am feeling very weak. After a liver function test, I received my report and many values are different from the normal range. Can you please explain what the exact problem is and what I should do now? Also, is this a normal problem or a serious problem?

Unexplained fatigue with abnormal LFT may indicate liver inflammation, infection, or medication effects. Get an ultrasound and consult a doctor to assess further. Avoid alcohol/fatty foods.
