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.
My recent blood test showed an AST/SGOT reading of 80 and an ALT/SGPT level of 211. I am 5 10 and weigh 170 lbs. I am very active and on the day of my morning blood test, I rode 20 miles on my bike, unaware that I was not to do that on a blood test day. I am re-taking the blood test in two weeks. I have 3-5 drinks/week, usually beer, and had an AST/SGOT of 41 and a ALT/SGPT of 46 in the spring of 2013. How concerned should I be?
Thanks For your consultation at HCM: I have gone your case history, My diagnosis is that you have got deranged liver fuction secondary to beer drinks..you ALT is quite high more than tHree times of nornal value which signifies HEPATITIS secondary to beer drink.. you should undergo complete liver functions tests including GGT.. Activity factor on the day of blood tests has got nothing to do with the liver function..you should not be concerned about the activity and driving on bike on the day of your blood tests....plz visit to the HEPATOLOGIST to rule out actual cause of deranged LFTs Hope ur querry has been answered affectively if u still got one feel free to ask..
