A member asked:
Is there any effect if sgot sgpt are high for a long time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Elevated SGOT and SGPT are indicators of liver cell damage and can be elevated in many liver diseases, including hepatitis. Depending on how elevated they are, it would be important to confirm the presence of liver disease and to further define the type of disease, possibly through a liver biopsy.
