A member asked:

Raised alt, b12 and folate (folic acid)? what does this mean please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sgpt(alt)level: Elevated levels of B12 and folate (folic acid) are not harmful. Elevated level of alt(sgpt level) can be seen in liver disease. With liver disease the ast(sgot level) is also usually elevated.
