A member asked:

My sgpt is 37 and my sgot is 42 is this risky ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't really tell: Lab results usually are numbers, and numbers are just numbers, with little meaning unless a doctor takes in the whole picture of what's going on with his patient. If the patient's SGOT (an enzyme measured in a blood sample) is mildly higher than the reference range, the ordering doctor may or may not consider the result a problem, depending on the patient's illnesses and exercise activities.
