Question : my name is XXXXXXX n my age is 33 yrs stays in XXXXXXX in my LFT TEST RESULT MY SGOT VALUE IS 41.1 AND SGPT value is 89.1 serum albumin is 2.08 and albumin/globulin ratio is 2.36 and gamma gt is 98.9
Brief Answer:
You need few more investigations.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your findings suggests raised SGPT and GGT.
Increased SGPT indicates liver injury. Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines, auto immune causes etc.
Increased GGT is specific for alcoholic liver injury.
You also have reduced serum albumin level. It also indicates liver pathology.
SGOT is non specific finding.
You need few other investigations like random blood sugar, Lipid profile, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen.
It may take 3-4 months to reverse the findings.
I suggest my patients to take tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
You should avoid fatty food.
Proper treatment depend upon full investigation reports.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
Take Care
