Patient: Recently I have done few tests ............... bilirubin is within normal range .8 but SGOT and SGPT are 72 and 84 My eyes are normal and so is my bowel and urine.Is there a cause to worry?What are the suggested medication and measures that needs to be taken to bring the levels SGPT/SGOT to normal?2 years back the SGOT/SGPT were 98/106 but was back to normalancy within 2 months?Pls advice as my doc is out of town..............All other test pertaining to Blood Sugar/Hb/Counts/Urea/Creatinine/Occult Blood are within normal limits...... Doctor: HelloIncreased SGPT indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.You may need few more investigations like lipid profile,viral markers and ultrasound of abdomen.I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
