Blood Test Showed Elevated Sgpt, Sgot. What Is The Cause And How Can I Lower It?

My yesterday s blood test result showed 160 Sgot , 87 SGPT , D. bilirubin - 0.3, T.bilirubin 1.3 and uric acid 8.4. Before a week result was 126 Sgot , 89 SGPT , D. bilirubin - 0.8, T.bilirubin 1.9 and uric acid 9.5. Except for SGOT and SGPT my other results have improved. How can i make improvement for those two result. I am taking my food very carefully. and i haven t taken alchol since 2 month. Is it due to uric acid and liver problem ? or other factor can make those two result high? What other test i have do do ?

Hi 'ts'

Your SGPT and SGOT levels are showing signs of a mild liver inflammation. This is often seen with following conditions

1. Long term alcohol intake
2. some viruses involving the liver like hepatitis B and C
3. Obesity or metabolic syndrome which causes what is known as Non alcoholic steatohepatitis

You need to get the following tests done
1. HbsAg
2. anti HCV antibody.
3. ultrasound of abdomen

SGPT and SGOT takes time for improvement. You need to continue to be abstinent from alcohol. On an average it would take 2-3 months to resolve with continued abstinence and medications. So continue on the path of a good lifestyle and you would surely see good results.
