What Causes High SGPT?

Hello,
My father in law has gone through liver transplant two years back. He was doing quite well and was very stable through out this 2 years. However, now his result shows high SGPT, SGOT and GGPT.

Could you please help what is going wrong here?
Many thanks,
Sanchita

Hi thanks for asking question.

Noted your father in law has done liver transplantation...
Now enzymes elevation.
So should be investigated.

Here it could be chance of hepatitis b or c infection.Viral marker study done for it...
And yes if history of hepatitis b or c and transplantation Done because of it then probably this infection should be sought...

There are also chances of transplant rejection ...So should be searched for...

If needed for correct diagnosis biopsy can be done....

Take care...

Dr.Parth
