Question 1

my  sgot and sgp value is hight than normal, slightly high, please advice some medicine for permenat solution.thanks?

Accepted Answer

Don't Rx a lab value: Elevated SGOT / SGPT is a warning of underlying illness. You'll get the values repeated off alcohol and medications. If still high, you'll get checked for hepatitis B and C, Wilson's, hemochromatosis, autoimmune hepatitis and maybe a few others. These are deadly if missed but can be managed. If you don't have any of these, your best help is physical exercise rather than pills.

Question 2

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 3

what does a sgot test of 59 mean?

Accepted Answer

It's high: And probably worth figuring out why. If it seems to be coming from your liver (your physician can tell), you'll get a workup which may start with a repeat off alcohol & meds. If it's normalized, that's your wakeup call. If not, a check for treatable serious diseae (hepatitis family, hemochromatosis, wilson's, a few others) is in order. If that's clear, a rx for increased fitness may be in order.

Question 4

my sgot is 107.9 what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

High SGOT: Sgot is a liver enzyme that is released when the liver is inflamed and liver cells are injured. There are many causes of elevated SGOT including viral hepatitis, genetic condition and even cancer. You should consult your doctor to find out the cause. However, the most common cause is fatty liver: http://www.Laendo.Net/english/fatty-liver-75894941.

Question 5

what does an elevated sgot of 84 mean?

Accepted Answer

Many: We need to know what the other liver function tests show as well.The possibilities are too numerous to list here but any liver enzyme elevation raises the question of hepatitis.A frank discussion of your past is essential with your dr.

Question 6

sgot level is 45, child age is 4 years?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Why was the test done? All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and your doctor is in the best position to do that.

Question 7

very low sgot, what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Stop worrying: Labs set the reference ranges arbitrarily so that several percent of healthy people fall outside on either end. This is the right thing to do. Don't confuse them with "healthy ranges" or "normal ranges". A low SGOT is never a problem.

Question 8

should i be concerned with a low ast/sgot?

Accepted Answer

No: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fallow above and several more percent fall below.

Question 9

my sgot level is 94 . how can i control it ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: An elevated SGOT level means the enzyme is leaking from liver cells or muscle cells, so one has to talk with her doctor to find out what the cause is. After finding out the cause, she can learn if there are ways to reverse the cause. Sometimes, the cause is a temporary condition, with which the SGOT level should return to normal without treatment.

Question 10

what to do if i have a higher level of sgot?

Accepted Answer

Liver enzyme: I'll assume SGPT is up as well. Elevated liver enzymes are indicators of disease, not something to be treated by themselves. Your physician will rule in/out alcohol, medication effect, viral / immune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's and a few others. All are treable but deadly if neglected. If you're free of these, the key may simply be more aerobic exercise.
