Suggest treatment for elevated level of SGOT and SGPT
Patient: my first blood work (when i had a cold) came back that my sgot (ast) was high (50) and my alt (sgpt) 111 was also high, so I went and got some more blood work done and now it say that my sgot is 16 and sgpt is 36. so I'm not sure why the difference.  Also my HBsAG confirmation is positive abnormal but my HBsAg screen indicated negative... what does this mean, I'm very confused.Thank you Doctor: HelloThanks for asking query on HCM. Transient elevation of transaminases (SGOT/SGPT) during an episode of cold could be secondary to a viral illness or tablets you might have taken for cold. But point of concern is HbsAg confirmatory test being positive, it needs evaluation like HBV DNA level, E antigen and Ultrasound of abdomen. You need to meet your gastroenterologist/physician for further evaluation.
