Why Did I Have Elevated GOT And GPT Levels?

Hello, i am 43 years old, 59 kg and 1.61m 2 weeks ago the doctor measured the GT level in blood, which was fully normal. All other tests (kidneys, cholesterin, hemoglobin, CRP) were normal. Last week I had a mild cold and some digestion problems (feeling full after eating). For a routine cardiologic check the doctor measured GOT and GPT which proved to be double than the normal. Never hadelevated liver enzymes. What can this be?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that they were elevated due to the alcohol habbit, or hepatitis, fatty liver, etc.
You may need to have ultra sound for diagnosis and treatment of the liver problem . Other liver function tests are to be done to pin point the diagnosis.
E.C.G, and echo cardiogram are to be done to exclude the cardiac involvement.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods for good health of the liver.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
