Question 1

what are the causes for very high sgot sgpt levels?

Accepted Answer

Enzymes: Indication of liver inflammation.

Question 2

what could be the reason for a very high sgot (402) and sgpt (438)?

Accepted Answer

Serious disease: These labs mean nothing by themselves. I am going to assume the person is sick and that the cause is not obvious. I am also going to assume that an extreme athletic effort or shock has not caused liver ischemia. If this is not alcoholic hepatitis and tests for acute hepatitis B and C are non-revealing, then medication hepatitis (famously, a fake-labeled "herbal remedy") must be considered.

Question 3

is the smoking causes the high sgpt  sgot...

Accepted Answer

No: In general, smoking is not the cause of elevated liver enzymes. In your medical history I see you have a diagnosis of fatty liver. That is the likely cause of elevated liver enzymes.  Other things to consider include infectious hepatitis, alcohol, toxins, tumors, and bile duct abnormalities.

Question 4

what could cause elevated sgot, sgpt and ggt?

Accepted Answer

Many thngs: Can be gall bladder, liver or pancreatic problems.  With out further imaging or work up its hard to say what is the cause.

Question 5

i have elevated liver counts , my sgpt is 60 and my sgot is 37 , i always need to sleep and can't concentrate at all . what would cause this ?

Accepted Answer

You must: find out WHY these counts are elevated and the causes are many...from benign reactions to certain medications to infections to chemicals and (perhaps the most common reason) too much ALCOHOL!
Ask your question again with more information!

Hope this helps!

Question 6

i tested and i have an elevated sgot is 49 and sgpt of 87. i don't drink much... but mom died of cirhosis.would that be the cause i have this high ?

Accepted Answer

Stop Alcohol: Alcohol is the commonest cause of elevated liver enzymes and you should stop drinking. Women are more susceptible to alcohol than men. You did not state your age, but in case you intend to get pregnant, abstain from alcohol entirely. Stop drinking entirely and recheck you liver function tests in about 6 months.

Question 7

i'm 28 and no cholesterol. but have fatty liver and sgpt sgot both high. what will be the reason?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: How much do you weigh? Do you drink alcohol? Are you diabetic? No cholesterol is unlikely to be correct. If you drink alcohol, quit entirely, If you are even slightly overweight, lose weight and if you are diabetic, keep blood sugar under control. The issue you described warrants evaluation by a doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 8

dear doc, one hour before blood test was taken, i had run for 2,5 miles then i took test, the result was my sgpt 84.68 & sgot 41.23. i am not an alcoholic and never use drug what cause my sgpt & sgot high ?

Accepted Answer

: Just from the scenario that you posted here, it is impossible to know why your liver tests were elevated. It may be that you have some liver disease that has not been detected yet. You should follow up with your doctor to recheck those tests and to test for possible liver disease. Do not skip this follow up. Good luck.

Question 9

my father's sgpt is high about 80 and sgot is 50 and esr is also high ....what are tha causes and what treatment should be done...? his all tests reports are cleared except these .sgpt and esr and his crp is also high.can u plz tell reasons and cause?

Accepted Answer

: To correctly interpret requires a detailed history and physical exam which I assume the ordering physician did so he/she would be the best person to ask. If they do not satisfy your enquiry pl see an Internist

Question 10

my blood test report shows hav igg & hbsab as reactive. sgot-56.9 & sgpt-167.2. high cholesterol also came in report. is there major reason to worry?

Accepted Answer

Be very concerned: Rather than worry, insist that your physician figure out why you have elevated transaminases. With these ; only these labs, you have hepatitis c, hemochromatosis, wilson's or autoimmune hepatitis until proved otherwise. All are treatable, but not by worry. You may simply have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. I do trust you're alcohol-free at this point. Hit the gym hard ; continue the workup.
