Are High Levels Of SGPT And SGOT A Cause For Concern?
My son had accute chicken pox. He is 36 years old . he was admitted in hospital last week with accute chicken pox with dengue positive when his sgpt was 212 and sgot 156. it came down to 140 and 106 on 16-01-16. Now he has recovered from chicken pox and no dengue symptoms anddischarged from hospital. But his sgpt is 187 and sgot 142. I s this normal. Is there any liver complication.
Hi thanks for asking question in health care magic. You were suffered from viral infection like chicken pox and dengue .so liver might be secondarily affected and gives high level of sgpt and sgot. Now after resolving from both these condition within few days level of this enzymes should be lower down in few days. So after few days repeat level of both.if it is still high then possibilities of viral hepatitis and for that viral marker has to be done. Particularly HBSag elevated after 6 month then it is because of chronic carrier of hepatitis b. Meanwhile maintain healthy diet. I hope my suggestion will help you.
