Could being overweight cause fluctuating SGPT levels with other liver function levels normal?
Patient: Hi, I am 26 years old and I weight 103kgs... my height is 5 ft 7 in... I was tested some time ago and had elevated SGPT... It was 165... SGOT, GGT, Billirubin and all other Liver indicators were normal. After a month, my SGPT was 83... And in a few months SGPT was 27 and recently it was 16 with rest of the LFT normal. What could be the reason for this elevated SGPT? Doctor: Thanks for query.elevated ALT(sgpt) may be due to different reasons as you mention it was high and gradually decreased probable cause could be alcohol abuse if you had a binge or Drugs (ie, statins, aspirin, barbiturates, HIV medication, herbs etc if you had them any.you needed not worry much about their levels unless they are persistently elevated .regards
