A member asked:
Can you have liver cirrosis if sgpt, sgot, gamma gt and alkaline are normal. no alcohol drinking, no hepatitis b or c? do cirosis cause macrocanemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In fact, alcoholics who sober up may still be dying of cirrhosis with normal transaminases. You've got a right to know what's going on with your liver, and if you do not trust your personal physician, consider a specialist consult.

My mother's sgot is 87 and sgpt 77, given I am not taking any drugs nor alcohol... Does that mean a liver cirrhosis or hepatitis?
Am 70 yrs. I never drink alcohol. No medicines. No hepatitis b or c. Liver enzymes sgpt , sgot, alkalibe, gamma are normal. Can I have liver cirosis?
I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?
AST is 54. I dont take meds or drink alcohol. How do I lower it? ALT, ALP and all other labs normal. Concerned for cancer(liver, pancreas, ovary) or cirrhosis or nonalcoholic fatty liver?
How bad are these values for liver enzymes? How high would they have to be to cause hepatitis or cirrhosis? And how long would it take for them to drop back to normal levels? GOT/AST: 533 Units/L GOT/ ALT: 338 Units/L Thank you?
