I can see that my sgpt is high. Do i need to consult a doctor .Is this values alarming ? Doctor: thank you for posting query.yes, you should visit your treating physician as your suffering from acute hepatitis. usually the cause is not worrysome but better to exclude certain causes of hepatitis.you need to be tested for HBsAg, Anti HCV and if possible anti HAV.after the results of these test, further management maybe adviced.HAV is a common cause of acute hepatitis and self limited.meanwhile:- abstinence from Alcohol - LOW fat diet should be followed- NO red meat- vegetables should be ingested daily- REST more, Less activities- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day- Liv52 maybe used after visiting a hepatologist and taking his advice-"recheck liver enzymes after 4 to 6 weeks".if liver enzymes still high, You may visit hepatologist as soon as possible.if any further questions, feel free to ask.Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge. Cure is blessed by the ONE who Created us, whose power and knowledge is unlimited .wish you good health.regards,Dr Tayyab Malik
