Liver Test Shows Abnormal SGOT And SGPT Levels. Concerned
Hello
I had conducted a liver test yesterday which result is as follows. Billirubin total .91 and direct .39. Also SGOT is 164 and SGPT 139 but I bit worried about AGOT and SGPT levels as no matter it should have shoot to such high levels. I am a male of 27 years and drink 4/7 days for last 2-3 years. Normally for 2-3 peg but how could it affect my liver like that. Is there some other measurement quantities other than IU/Ltr. The have not noted the measurement index just a numerical value. I am very concerned.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Bilirubin level is normal in your case but SGOT and SGPT is increased.
GGT level estimation ,viral markers and ultrasound of abdomen should also be done.
You should quit drinking immediately and contact your physician.
Tablet ursodiol 150 mg twice daily can be given if GGT level also comes increased.
Get well soon.
Take Care
