High SGPT And ALT Test Reports. What Should I Do Next?
Hi, I have take a test on my liver function and the SGPT ALT was 55 and AST was 50 is that high? My cholesterol level was LDL 4.7 and HDL 1.5 total Cholesterol was 6.1. The test was done about 5 months ago and I have cut down my diet to be green. Taking barley grass in after wake up from bed, taking livasil tablet before bed my weight was down from 61 to 58Kgs. May I know what is the further advice on this?
Your liver enzymes are not alarmingly high, but these are definitely abnormal and you should get a full check up by a hepatologist, to make sure you do not have any other underlying liver disease. You should be tested for viral hepatitis (hepatitis A, B, C), autoimmune liver diseases, iron overload, and other causes of liver disease.
Fatty liver is definitely a concern, and losing weight and controlling lipids usually helps. Avoid alcohol.
