A member asked:
Can just gaining some weight cause an elevated sgpt of 75u/l? can it be serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi. Yes, weight gain can cause elevated SGPT (aka ALT) in the neighborhood of 75. It is not uncommon for type 2 diabetics to have elevated SGPT due to fatty liver. However, many things can cause an elevated SGPT. You might want to talk with your doctor about your elevated SGPT and run tests as appropriate. High SGPT due to weight gain seldom causes severe liver problems, but other causes may.
