Question 1

my sgot is 65 and my sgpt is 68  is it serious already?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: The levels of your liver enzymes are mildly elevated. It depends on what is causing the elevation. If you drink alcohol, stop entirely. If you are overweight, lose weight (easier said than done). If you have diabetes, control blood sugar. if you take any medications, discuss those with your doctor.

Question 3

my sgot is 53 n sgpt is 31 why?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Your SGOT is minimally elevated. It may due to alcohol intake, some medications you are taking, or from being overweight, or due to an infection. 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.

Question 4

how can i reduce sgot and sgpt?

Accepted Answer

Determine the cause: You must determine the cause of these enzyme elevations before knowing how the elevations can be reduced.

Question 5

what i do my sgot 70.5 & sgpt 198?

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor: How did you get those test results? Who ordered them? Why? Doctor who ordered them should review results & discuss your next steps. For instance, what's your risk for infectious hepatitis? Injection drug use? Tattoos? Unprotected sex? Are you overweight or obese? Are you taking any dietary supplements? Any medications whether prescription or over-the-counter? Any recent illness?

Question 6

how can one decrease sgpt and sgot levels?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the cause of the elevation.

Question 7

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 8

how can you  normalize sgpt and sgot results?

Accepted Answer

Why are they up?: Elevated liver enzymes (sgpt, sgot, also called AST and alt) are signs of inflammation in the liver, but they do not tell you the cause.  The treatment will depend on the cause.  A few of the common causes are overuse of alcohol. Being overweight, certain medications, infections, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic diseases (copper or iron storage diseases).  Further investigation is needed.

Question 9

what is the difference between sgpt and sgot?

Accepted Answer

Different enzymes: Sgot (ast) and SGPT (alt) are both present in liver cells. Ast is also present in red cells, heart, muscles etc, whereas alt is more specific to liver cells. See this site for more info.

Question 10

my sgot & sgpt both are 41. do i have any risk?

Accepted Answer

Follow up: Your physician will probably retest you after two weeks off alcohol and all meds. You'll probably be in the normal range; if not, you'll get a workup for hepatitis, hemochromatosis, wilson's and a few others. If still no diagnosis, aerobic fitness may be a great new focus for you. Good luck.
