Is ALT Level Of 77 A Cause For Concern?

I m looking into my test result for ALT (SGPT) OP, which is 77. I know it s above the range and wondering what too high is. I m 52, pre-diabetic, 5 5 and 165 lbs. I was 182 lbs, was put on Saxenda, but worried about my liver and wondering if it can be fixed. I rarely have a glass of wine, but not while on meds

General & Family Physician, Dr. Purva Patel's Response

Hello,

There are many conditions which give rise to borderline raise of SGPT such as viral hepatitis, fatty liver and other intestinal infections with bacteria/virus, and others. Nothing to worry at all, it can be totally controlled with proper medications and dietary precautions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
