What Does High SGOT/ SCPT & GGT Count Suggest In Patients With Typhoid?
Hi, I am just recovering from typhoid. It has been a month and my blood culture shows no growth. However I have a high ESR count of 31 and Liver Function test shows SGOT 69 and SGPT 85 GGT 40 which seem higher than normal values. What could be the problem?
Dear Friend Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Charu Bansal. I understand your concern. You might have suffered from some atypical viral infection. Widal test done for Typhoid is not a sensitive test, it can be false positive. Simply get LFT repeated. If still they are high, get: 1. Ultrasound abdomen 2. Viral Markers If you have any further query please ask me. Stay Healthy
