Suggest treatment for abnormal ALT and SGPT levels
Patient: I had a series of blood tests and the only out of range was ALT/SGPT: 91 U/L the normal value reported by the lab is 0-53 U/L. I repeated the test after 2 weeks and the result was 89 U/L. Is that an alarming value? does it indicate that my liver is damaged? The AST/SGOT in the first test was 35 U/L and in the second was 34/U/L. I am 32 healthy man 6.01 187lb I don t smoke or drink, I do a lot of sports I eat healthy, not so much meat.. I take vitamin and mineral supplements. I would like to understand what can cause this abnormal value. Is it as high as hep virus infected livers? Can stress, fatigue allergies also increase it? Thank you Doctor: Dear welcome to HCM and thanks for choosing us. I understand your concerns. Firstly, I would say you should be cautious but don't worry too much.
