A member asked:

Hello doctor, had a routine blood test done, and the sgot is 85 and sgpt is 47. is this normal? i am 55 male

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A bit high: You may get these repeated off alcohol and any med you don't really need. If they're still up, it's perhaps hepatitis B or C, hemochromatosis, WIlson's (less likely at your age) or autoimmunity (less likely). It may simply be your body's way of asking for more exercise, and/or a sign of prediabetes. Best wishes.
