Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a SPGT alt level of 70. Is this a big concern. Going to do a retest on it in 6 weeks. Dr. said to not take Tylenol or drink alcohol. Do I have to completely stop drinking or do we stop for 6 weeks and get it lower then its ok to drink again? I m a social drinker 2-3 days a week. Beer or wine in moderate levels.
Increased SGPT indicates liver injury and it may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc. Increased SGPT in your case may be due to alcohol intake.
You need few other investigations like viral markers,lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen.
You may need to take some medicines after proper evaluation.I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You should avoid alcohol completely.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
