Question 1

how do you lower sgot levels?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: If elevated SGOT is due to alcohol  then stop drinking. If a medication has caused it then your physician will decide if the med needs to be decreased or discontinued. If due to nonalcoholic fatty liver then low fat, low carb diet + regular exercise + weight loss should help. If due to hepatitis b or c then treatment for the infection is indicated. If from hypothyroidism, treat with synthroid (thyroxine).

Question 2

what can be done to lower ast (sgot) levels?

Accepted Answer

Don't treat labs: If the SGOT / SGPT are up, you need to find out why. If you're injuring your liver with alcohol, they're your wake-up call. If it's a medicine to which you're allergic, you must stop it. If you have chronic hepatitis, hemochromatosis, wilson's, or autoimmune hepatitis, this needs to be addressed. If they're up from extreme fitness, good for you. Metabolic syndrome is best rx'd by exercise.

Question 3

how can one decrease sgpt and sgot levels?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the cause of the elevation.

Question 4

how can you lower your sgpt and sgot levels?

Accepted Answer

Address the reason: Stgp (= alt = alanine aminotransferase) & SGOT (=ast =aspartate aminotransferase), are commonly elevated in liver disease (sometimes muscle disease or other). If high, this suggests liver injury and it is important to treat underlying reasons. I tell my patients to stop alcohol and nutritional supplements as first step in finding out the reason for the elevation. Further workup may be needed.

Question 5

how can i lower levels of ast (sgot) and alt (sgpt)?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Sgot and SGPT are liver enzymes. Lowering them depends on the cause of the elevation. Some medications can cause the elevation and stopping the medications will result in normalizing them. Alcohol, gallstones, infections (mono, hepatitis), and other liver toxins can also cause elevated liver enzymes.

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Find cause: Labs are guides that something is wrong and needs a workup, not something to be treated. High Sgot / Sgpt today most often reflect alcohol use, meds, or lack of exercise / overeating. Your physician will rule hepatitis, Wilson's, hemochromatosis, And so forth in or out.

Depends: What is the cause of your elevated SGOP/SGPT? If you take alcohol, stop entirely, if you are overweight lose weight, if you have hepatitis virus infection you need to be treated for that. Are you on other medications that may be damaging your liver? Please consult your doctor to address these issues.
