Question 1

is it normal if you have sgpt of 41?

Accepted Answer

I think so: Usually we do not get concerned until both SGOT and SGPT rise above a level of 50. If you are concerned get repeat tests done asking both for SGOT and SGPT to be checked.

Question 2

my sgpt result is  366.00  u/l is that normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Sgpt is released from liver cells when something is injuring the cells. Chemicals such as alcohol or drugs, infections like viral hepatitis, or physical blockage from gallstones can elevate the test that high. Fat accumulation can also cause a rise in SGPT but not that high. Since you wouldn't know this number without blood testing, you  and your doctor will figure out the cause and treatment.

Question 3

what can i do if my sgpt 47.0 higher than normal?

Accepted Answer

Repeat it: See if it's down in reference range after a month with no alcohol and a week with no painkillers. If not, a workup for hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis, and Wilson's may be in order. It may just be your liver asking for more exercise.

Question 4

my husband sgpt result is 49u/l. is it normal or,risky? thank you

Accepted Answer

Hard to say.: The result is slightly abnormal, but whether it is risky or not would depend on the results of all of the rest of the liver tests and the clinical setting. We would need to know all that information in order to make a guess as to whether or not it is risky. Consider a consult on HealthTap Prime in which  you can upload the results for us.. Good luck.

Question 5

what does a higher than normal level of sgpt(alt) (59u/l) indicate ?

Accepted Answer

Can be serious: The first concern is allergy to one of yor meds. Repeat it off alcohol and painkillers and any meds you can omit, and if still up, proceed to a hepatitis work up and check for hemochromatosis and Wilson's. It may simply be your body's way of asking for more exercise.

Question 6

what does elevated sgpt means? normal is 0-40, my result is 60.1. help!

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: You'll get a workup. You're not taking any meds that would be likely to do this. If you drank a lot of alcohol before you were tested, that may be the explanation. Or you may have hepatitis B or C, hemochromatosis, Wilson's, autoimmune hepatitis, or just need more exercise. Your physician will be your guide. Best wishes.

Question 7

what the cause if sgpt is 120 and other result was normal? what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Retest: Rare folks run high SGPT with normal SGOT without evident illness. Elevated transaminases without obvious cause may be due to hepatitis b/c, hemochromatosis, wilson's, autoimmune hepatitis, antitrypsin deficiency, medication effect (are you sure you know what your "anti-oxidant" really is?), others.

Question 8

what is mean for sgpt that 80 high from normal 50? kindly explain to me i'm worried.

Accepted Answer

Get worked up: If you have used alcohol and/or medications, your test will be repeated two weeks from now. If it's down, that's your warning. If not, you'll be checked for hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis, Wilson's, autoimmune hepatitis and a few others. If all are normal, it may simlpy be your body's way of asking for more exercise. Best wishes.

Question 9

what does 47.90 of sgpt/alt means when normal range is 0-45 u/l? do i need medication asap?

Accepted Answer

Probably not, no. : ALT of 47.9 is so close to the ULN, that there doesn't seem to be reason to get alarmed. Medication ASAP is unlikely to be indicated. The best thing to do is contact the doc who ordered the test and ask why it was ordered? Were you having any sxs? Any other abnormal labs/tests/findings? Next steps may include repeating the test, picture tests of the abdomen/liver, or stopping a current med. :)

Question 10

my medical report says that sgpt is 125.so how could i lower the my sgpt level from 125 to normal?

Accepted Answer

Measure liver health: Alt/alanine transaminase aka serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase SGPT is an enzyme present in hepatocytes (liver cells). When the liver is damaged, it's cells leak this enzyme into the blood, where it is measured. Alt rises dramatically in acute liver damage, such as viral hepatitis, tylenol (acetaminophen) aka Acetaminophen overdose, and alcohol use. Normal is around 40. Ok to ask your doc for advise.
