What Causes Raised SGOT Level?

Hi sir, my sgpt varies between 55 to 75. My SGOT is normal. I had consulted to doctor. he performed a lot of test like Ulra sound, urine Test, blood tests incuding hepatitis A,b,C, affircan Hepatitics, HIV. All report were ok. He could not find the exact problem. At last he suggested that it may be due to mild fatty liver. But ultra sound does not show fatty liver. He advised me to do regular exercise. But after two year the problem is still as it is. still my sgpt varies between 55 to 75. please help me. what to do now.

Hello

Increased SGPT indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
It is important to rule out autoimmune causes.You may need ANA antibody estimation etc as other reasons has been ruled out.

You may need few more investigations like lipid profile.
It is good that viral markers and ultrasound of abdomen are normal.

I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

Get well soon.
Take Care
