Question 1

my 12 year old daughter blood result of sgpt is 38 and sgot 52 above normal range of  10-35 for sgpt and sgot, is it alarming.  her weight is 173 poun?

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, from what you described, your daughter may have fatty liver, (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis - NASH). It would be prudent for her to lose weight, not easy, but essential. Do discuss it with her 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. 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.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 2

creatinine 1.46mg/dl, sgpt 113 u/l, sgot 50 u/l. no hepa b or c. im overweight. are these values alarming? what should i do? what suplements needed?

Accepted Answer

No supplements pleas: Ask the doctor that ordered the tests why he did them and whether it represents fatty liver or something else.

Question 3

hi , my sgpt level is 73 can you please suggest me how i control this level.

Accepted Answer

High sgpt: If all your other liver enzymes are normal and there is no evidence of hepatitis a, b, or c and if a liver ultrasound is ok, the first thing i would think about is alcohol excess. I also would avoid taking any herbs or unusual "nutritional "supplements. Have your liver enzymes checked again after abstaining from alcohol for a few weeks. Your physician will advise you.

Question 4

is sgpt 41 high?

Accepted Answer

No, just above the: Normal. Sgpt of 41 is not high enough to worry about. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.

Question 5

is an sgpt of 67 okay?

Accepted Answer

No: Look for the cause. This may be your wake-up that you need to drink less, or that your body's asking for more exercise (the most common nowadays), or you're allergic to some rx. It may also warn of hepatitis b, hepatitis c, wilson's, hemochromatosis or autoimmunity. Labs aren't things to treat, they warn of undiagnosed, treatable illness.

Question 6

how to lower down sgpt?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: Determine the cause of the elevation and then you will know how to lower it.

Question 7

how to cure a high sgpt?

Accepted Answer

Find cause: As a pathologist, i always tell folks to look at the person more than the labs. High SGPT is hepatitis, hemochromatosis, wilson's, or drug toxicity until proven otherwise. Usually it is proved otherwise, but we need to rule these out. Once done, easy on the alcohol and hit the gym hard and the lifestyle-related causes of high SGPT (the most common ones) will be history and you'll feel better.

Question 8

why does sgpt level rise?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: A very heavy workout can raise it, or it can warn on ongoing liver troubles from alcohol, lack of exercise, medication allergy, hepatitis b/c, wilson's, hemochromatosis, or a few others.

Question 9

my sgpt is 47, is it high?

Accepted Answer

See details: It is marginally elevated. This is likely not a significant issue.

Question 10

what does high sgpt means?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Sgpt is present in liver cells and the usual cause  of high level is alcohol intake. Hepatitis, drug reaction  and heart failure are other causes.
