Question : Hi Doctor,

before 2 months I had a blood test when I approach a doctor for cold symptoms and my ALT level found 296 U/L, LDL 142 mg/dl, HDL 29 mg/dl, and triglycerides 149 mg/dl.

after that, I was totally stopped my alcohol intake started physical exercise on a daily basis. Last time when I asked a doctor from health care magic he advised me to check my blood after 2 months.

now I reduced my weight from 86.3 kg to 80.5 kg and did another blood test and found SGPT 50 and SGOT 29.Is it seems good? and can i go back to my daily routine with moderated exercise?

kindly advise further...

ok, I will follow as per your instructions.

Also is there any need to do LFT again?
or when I can go for another test to ensure the values are ok?

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No need for another test.

Detailed Answer:
I don't think there is a need to do another test to verify it. The first value is also elevated because you were having a viral infection and possibly using acetaminophen, tyenol, ibuprofen or other drugs which can increase liver enzymes.
So I don't believe you need to do another test.
