Question : My age 28 years height 5'6" weight 72 Kg. My SGPT & SGOT are 97 & 85 respectively, all other liver function test reports including alkaline phosphate are normal. For high SGPT/SGOT I am unfit in medical to get visa. I have been given 10 days to improve. Sir how can I achieve it. I m taking Liv 52, three tabs thrice daily & taking plenty of fruits and vegetables. Rice & wheat minimised.
Brief Answer:
To identify the cause of elevation...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Clinically both liver enzymes under 100 are considered ok and no intervention is planned. However since it's affecting you, I will urge you to visit a gastroenterologist and identify if any known cause is the reason for elevation. The causes could be an infection, current lifestyle, smoking/alcohol if any, unnecessary medication use and so on. The cause should be treated only then enzyme level will fall back.
It is Ok to take liver-protective herbs. In addition, while you plan to see the doctor, please consider quitting smoking/alcohol if any, start exercise to lower weight, sleep well, meditate and stay relaxed.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
