What causes an increase in the sgpt count?
Patient: sir, my age is 19 yrs, ihave no any problem of pain and anything, But in a regular test igot my sgpt count is 214 and sgot count is 121 . After 20 days elopethic medicines the results were down by 128 and 52 respectively. i am still in elopethic treatment . sir tell me upto how much time i have to take medicines and even after complete course is that possible that these counts not increase in future, or other wise i should choose any ayurvedic treatment . i am absolutely non-alcohalic. please advice me. thanks, Doctor: HelloIncreased SGPT and SGOT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,viral markers,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.It is good that you are non alcoholic and values are decreasing after treatment.You may need to take medicines for three month.It depend upon evaluation.You should avoid saturated fat.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
