We haven't yet received its hard copy. Called lab and they told the value as 26. Which they said is in normal limits. Kindly explain the reason for increased ALP, SGPt and especially increasing GGT so fast. I ok have left with only one follow up message. So please now tell me what is the problem and what is its solution.
Thankyou
Thankyou
Brief Answer:
Answer given below
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
GGT is elevated in liver and bile duct issues, alcoholism , due to certain medications used to treat seizures and heart failure.
In his case there is no history alcohol intake, no history of intake of those medications and any symptoms of heart failure.
As his SGPT (ALT) is also elevated the issue is liver disease related. Since his albumin and globulin ratio is normal and his scan shows only a fatty liver he is having only an acute issue and not chronic liver disease. This is most probably due to a recent viral infection from which he is recovering. His elevated SGPT can also be explained by the presence of fatty liver which is reported in his scan.
Let him continue taking Liv52. Let him also take Udiliv 300 twice. a day.
Let the liver function test be repeated after 4 weeks.

Dr.R.K
