Question 2

Immunity: Most people now are vaccinated against hep b which causes an elevated hep b s about. This indicates immunity. In a unimmunized person this means prior exposure to virus.

Question 5

i take cipralex 10 mg, does this drug increase the sgpt test?

Accepted Answer

Very rare: This would be a very rare event with escitalopram (cipralex), but was listed as a potential side effect in the initial package insert.  A recent publication listed liver injury as a possible side effect with nearly every antidepressant except escitalopram:  http://tinyurl.Com/lngow4c  in most cases, this was reversible on stopping the medication.

Question 6

i have taken bilirubin and sgpt test twice 
my sgpt was earlier 40 and it reduced to 31
but direct bilirubin has increased and indirect is reduced?

Accepted Answer

Sgpt is normal.: What was the value of your total bilirubin? No values depending on the lab are 0.3-1.0 mg/dl.  If that was normal, no need to worry about indirect or direct.  If indirect is high one worries about  excessive breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis)ex bleeding, hemolytic anaemia etc.  if direct is elevated,there's concern for liver blockage.

Question 7

what happen if sgpt and billirubin increase?

Accepted Answer

Can mean serious pro: Liver diseases of one type or another often cause rise in liver enzymes(sgpt) and in bilirubin level. So you should see your doctor to find out the cause of these abnormalities right away.

Question 8

can you please tell me factors that increases cholesterol and sgpt?

Accepted Answer

Different  causes: Intake of saturated fats is the biggest culprit in raising cholesterol. Sgpt will go up with any thing that damages the liver, including, hepatitis, drug side effects, but most commonly, use of alcohol. An unhealthy diet and intake of alcohol will raise both.

Question 9

diet for control the level of sgot sgpt ? and causes of increase sgot sgpt?

Accepted Answer

Liver inflammation: Elevated levels suggest inflammation of the liver from fatty infiltration, alcohol use or infection. Most cases come from fatty liver big you are overweight you need to lose weight. I recommend Take Shape for Life because it's safe and I've used it successfully for years. If you drink consider going to AA to help you stop.

Question 10

total bilirubin  is 1.78
i have taken test twice in gap of a week
direct has increased
while indirect has decreased
sgpt was normal 
what is the prblm?

Accepted Answer

Possible Gilbert's: Gilbert’s syndrome is due to deficiency of an enzyme that helps to excrete bilirubin. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 30 years. Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome are prone to develop jaundice from time to time. The risk increases with fasting, dehydration, repeated and profuse vomiting, infections, exertion and stress and after a surgery.  If uncertain, specific tests can be done
