HI Doctor,
The SGPT SGOT levels and the Bilirubin levels have incresed even after taking the medication, when consulted the doctor who treater said that the levels will primarily rise and then decrease and become normal.
The treatment started exactly 7days before where the Bilirubin and SGPT and SGOT are slight higher than normal, how ever they have multifolded now..
kindly advice...
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... SGOT, SGPT & bilirubin are liver function test & can be elevated in number of conditions as follow 1. Most common causes of elevation of these tests is FATTY LIVER, caused by alcohol abuse. Other causes of fatty liver include diabetes mellitus and obesity. 2.Chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C are other causes of chronic mild to moderate liver enzyme elevation. 3.Many medications can be responsible for increase in the liver enzyme such an overdose of acetaminophen and many medicines 4. Liver function test may also be elevated in other infection unrelated to liver such as typhoid. 5.Profound liver damage inflicted by toxins & poisoning 6.Prolonged collapse of the circulatory system can also cause increase in these tests. So you should visit your physician for referral
