SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase), ALT (Alanine aminotransferase), Interpretations
SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase)
Sample for SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase)
- This is done on the serum of the patient.
- The Blood sample can be taken at any time.
- The fasting sample is not necessary.
- Analyze the enzyme on the same day because the enzyme activity is lost at room temperature.
- This enzyme is stable in whole blood for up to 12 to 24 hours; after that time, there is a gradual increase due to release from the RBCs.
- The sample can be stored at 4 °C for 1 to 3 days (ALT is stable when refrigerated).
- ALT, when freezed, shows deterioration.
Precautions for SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase)
- Avoid hemolysis because RBC contains increased ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT).
- Drugs that may increase the SGPT value are acetaminophen, aminosalicylic acid, ampicillin, allopurinol, cephalosporin, chlorpropamide, clofibrate, cloxacillin, codeine, indomethacin, INH, Methyldopa, methotrexate, nalidixic acid, quinidine, phenylbutazone, phenytoin, salicylates, tetracycline, and propanol.
- Ideally, perform the test as soon as possible or on the same day because the sample’s storage may not be satisfactory.
- Previous I/M injections may increase the level.
Indications for SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase)
- Diagnose liver diseases.
- Monitor liver diseases after the treatment.
- It differentiates jaundice from liver disease or hemolytic anemia.
Definition of SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase)
- This enzyme catalyzes the reversible transfer of amino groups between an amino acid, and α-keto acids are called aminotransferase or transaminases.
- One of the aminotransferases is Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or the old name was glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) which will catalyze the reversible transfer of the amino group between an amino acid and α-keto acid where vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) is the co-factor.
SGPT (ALT) biochemical reaction
Distribution of SGPT (ALT):
- SGPT (ALT) is an enzyme found predominantly in the liver.
- It is distributed in many tissues, with a moderate amount in:
- Kidneys.
- A small amount in:
- Heart, skeletal muscles.
- A minimal amount may be found in the pancreas, spleen, lungs, and RBCs.
Variation of the SGPT (ALT):
- The day-to-day variation of the SGGPT (ALT) is 10% to 30%, and there is a diurnal variation.
- SGPT (ALT) is 45% higher in the afternoon than in the early morning.
- Until the age of 15, SGPT (ALT) is higher than SGOT (AST); after that, SGOT (AST) is higher than SGPT (ALT).
- In a few people, this pattern may reverse after the age of 60.
- Exercise is the major determinant for AST but less for ALT in men.
- Strenuous exercise or bodybuilding increases AST 3-fold and causes a 50% increase in ALT.
- The effect of exercise is minimal in women.
Distribution of SGPT (ALT) in the liver:
- This enzyme is present in cytosolic forms in the liver. The majority of the SGPT is present in the cytoplasm of liver cells.
- There is always a low level of this enzyme in the blood.
- This is a liver-specific enzyme of the transferases.
- The liver hepatocytes contain 3 to 4 times more AST (SGOT) than the ALT (SGPT).
- This is also normally found in bile, CSF, and saliva.
- It is not found in the urine unless there is a kidney lesion.
SGPT distribution in the liver cell
Liver cell injury:
- Any damage to the liver cells, SGPT enzyme, is released, specifically from liver cell necrosis.
- First, cytosolic SGPT is released, and in the case of necrosis, then mitochondria SGPT is released into circulation.
SGPT level depends upon the number of liver cells injured
SGPT level depends upon the number of cells injured
- SGPT activity persists longer than the SGOT.
- This enzyme is raised before there are clinical findings of jaundice.
- In viral hepatitis, the SGPT/SGOT ratio is greater than 1.
- Other than the viral cause, the SGPT/SGOT ratio is less than 1.
SGPT (ALT) biochemical reaction and variations in different conditions:
- SGPT (ALT) catalyzes the reaction, and it is reversible.
- Pyridoxal-5‘- phosphate (P-5-P) functions as coenzymes in the amino-transfer reaction.
- The P-5-P is bound to the apoenzyme and is a true prosthetic group.
- The P-5-P bound to the apoenzyme accepts the amino group from the first substrate, alanine, to form enzyme-bound pyridoxine-5- phosphate, and the first reaction product is pyruvate.
- This coenzyme increases the ALT activity by 20% in the normal serum.
- Hemolysis increases AST and ALT because of this enzyme activity in the RBCs compared to serum. This effect is more significant for AST than ALT.
SGPT (ALT) reaction principle
SGPT 1.5 to 8 times, more than the normal level seen in:
- Early, late, and subclinical hepatitis.
- Chronic hepatitis.
- Alcoholic hepatitis.
- Alcoholic fatty liver.
- Laennec’s cirrhosis.
- Chemical hepatitis.
- Passive congestion with centrilobular necrosis.
- Rye’s syndrome.
- Cholangitis.
- Hemochromatosis.
- Pancreatitis.
- Granulomatous infections.
- Neoplasia infiltration.
SGPT >8 to 10 times more than the normal value seen in:
- Mostly in acute viral hepatitis.
- Chronic active hepatitis.
- Infectious mononucleosis.
SGPT >30 times (20 or more) more than the normal value is seen in:
- Drug toxicity like acetaminophen in alcoholics and malnourished people.
- Viral hepatitis.
SGPT level in various tissue as compared to serum:
- Compared to serum (1 unit), the heart is 450 times; the liver is 2850 times; the kidney is 1200 times; skeletal muscle is 300 times; the pancreas is 130; the spleen is 80 times; the lung is 45, and RBCs 7 times.
SGPT (ALT) levels in various tissues as compared to the serum (one unit) are:
| Organs | Times more as compared to the normal serum level |
| Liver | 2850 |
| Kidneys | 1200 |
| Heart | 450 |
| Skeletal muscle | 300 |
| Pancreas | 130 |
| Spleen | 80 |
| Lungs | 45 |
| RBCs | 7 |
| Serum | 1 |
AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ratio:
- ALT is the cytoplasmic enzyme in the liver, while AST is a cytoplasmic and mitochondrial enzyme with a wide distribution in various other tissues.
Normal value:
- 0.7 to 1.4
AST/ALT ratio facts:
- AST/ALT ratio is typical <1, but infectious hepatitis becomes greater in the liver.
AST/ALT ratio is usually greater than 1, as seen in the:
- The patient with alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis). AST is more sensitive to alcoholic liver disease.
- Liver congestion.
- Metastatic tumor of the liver.
AST/ALT ratio of less than 1 is seen in the following:
- Acute hepatitis is caused by drugs, viruses, and toxins.
- Viral hepatitis.
- Infectious mononucleosis.
- Extrahepatic cholestasis (normal or slightly decreased as 0.8).
- The ratio will be less accurate if the AST level is more than 10 times the normal.
| Ratio of enzymes | AST/ALT = <1 | AST/ALT = >1 |
|
|
|
Diagnostic application of the SGPT (ALT):
- The best indicator for liver cell injury is when both SGPT and SGOT are raised.
- Higher-level is found in hepatocellular disorders than the extrahepatic or intrahepatic obstructive lesions.
- Levels of both enzymes may reach as high as 100 times. 20 to 50 times, the elevated level is frequently found.
- Measuring aminotransferases weekly is useful in hepatitis or other hepatic injuries.
- Because of the accurate measuring techniques, it can detect liver cell injury due to alcohol.
- It is used as a screening test for diagnosing hepatitis due to hepatotropic viruses, especially the hepatitis C virus in blood donors.
- 5 to 10 times the elevation of ALT and AST occurs in the liver’s metastatic carcinoma. AST (SGOT) level is higher than the ALT (SGPT). In the early stages of malignant infiltration of the liver, these enzymes are normal.
- ALT (SGPT) may be raised after intake of alcohol, delirium tremors, and after the administration of the drugs like opiates, salicylates, and ampicillin.

- Viral hepatitis. There is a markedly increased level.
- Drug-induced hepatitis.
- Chronic hepatitis.
- Infectious mononucleosis.
- Intrahepatic cholestasis.
- Cholecystitis.
- Active cirrhosis.
- Metastatic tumors of the liver.

Acute Viral hepatitis SGPT (ALT) Pattern:
- This rises before the appearance of jaundice.
- The peak level occurs between 7 to 12 days of jaundice.
- Then there is a gradual decrease in the level.
- Normal level after 3 to 4 weeks of the onset of jaundice.
- AST/ALT ratio, which is normally <1, becomes greater > than 1.

my sgpt (alt)is 60u/l and sgot (als) is 28 is it normal?
my age is 18 my sgpt(alt)is 60u/l and sgot(ast)is 28 is it risky?
SGPT is slightly raised, but SGOT is normal. Please repeat both tests after one month. Take more fruits during this period. Avoid aspirin.
Sgot is 33.9 and SGPT is 46.2
SGOT looks normal and SGPT slightly above normal. My suggestion is to repeat the LFT (SGPT) after one month.
Hello sir
My wifes sgpt 34 and sgot is 42.she is 7 months preganant.. Also she is taki g aspirin as per doctors advice..is thia range is normal?
Also the d dimer is 841..
These values are normal. Because the aspirin may increase SGOT, when she stops aspirin, I hope SGOT will also be below 40. Give her more fruits that may help her.
What about d dimer sir..
Please see the following link for D-dimer.
https://www.labpedia.net/d-dimer-test-fragment-d-dimer/
Hi Doctor
I’m 34 Years Male Affected with Jaundice and Taken the below test report on 23rd October and met a General Doctor . He advised to take Liv 52 Tablet for 15 days(3 times in a day) . I am not facing any Pain apart from lighter body tired. Kindly suggest me what to do next sir?
My Report taken on 23.10.22 :
LIVER FUNCTION TEST with GGT
SERUM G G T 210.5 U/L
SERUM SGOT 900 U/L
SERUM SGPT 1549 U/L
SERUM BILIRUBIN TOTAL :6.71 mg/dl

SERUM ( Hepatitis B ) Non reactive 0.36
SERUM ANTI HCV (C VIRUS) Nonreactive (0.09)
Pls suggest Doctor ,Can I continue the Liv 52 tablet another one week?
Your Liver function tests are abnormal. It is good that HBV and HCV are negative. To see the effect of the drug you are taking, please repeat LFT after two weeks. If LFT is improved, you can continue the medications as your physician advises.
What about d dimer sir?
my SGPT is 87.77 and my SGOT is 92.47 what should i do? thank u
Your LFT is abnormal; you need further workup like complete LFT with gamma-GT. Ultrasound of abdomen. If you are using alcohol, first quit and recheck LFT after one month.
If no improvement, then consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist.
Sir my LFT test is
SPGT LEVEL 199
SOGT LEVEL 65
BILUBRIN LEVEL 0.80
IS IT IN DANGEROUS LEVEL
Your liver function tests (LFT) are abnormal. No doubt, bilirubin is normal. This needs to rule out liver cell necrosis like alcohol intake, viral hepatitis, and some drug use.
It would be best if you had thorough work up to find the cause of abnormal LFT.

Your SGOT, SGPT. and Gamma GT is raised. It would help if you had further workup to rule out any disease of the liver. Please consult the physician for further workup.
Hi I’m George ALT/SGPT 14.08 U/L 14.08 ukat/L, please help me understand my findings. Thank you and Godbless
SGPT 14.08 U/L is in the normal range, and no need to worry.
Thank you so much Dr. Riaz
You ease my worries. Thank you for helping me.
More power and Godbless
im 35 year old my last week report about sgpt leve is 77
and bilirubin leve is 0.37
every week i did my test and some time result shown sgpt level 80 then 60 then 65 then 35 then 55 then 89 then 77 and bilirubin leve is always normal. whats i do is this thing is dangerous or not
SGPT level fluctuations mean that some minor injury in the liver, the causes may be viral hepatitis C, alcohol intake, some pain killer medications. You have to rule out these possibilities.
Thanks for the replay dear , few month ago i was sick and i used antibiotics medicines for 20days, after that is issue is rise ( increase of sgpt) i don’t use alcohol..
i used using the Estar tablet 10mg twice in a week, is this tablet is harmful in high SGPT or not please answer on this,,, and today on 5//9/2021 i repeat my sgpt test that was 61 befor is that was 77 in last week,,, i try to control this on proper diets,, actually im food lover and i like to eat fish and meals but now a days im on diet,, is this problem can be handle on diet or i need to visit doctor
thanks again for your replay to my message Doctor
Your LFT is definitely abnormal. I will suggest consulting some hepatologist or gastroenterologist.
Thanks
yes i have ulcer problem from last 7 year …i just want to know that ,can i use Estar tablet 10mg , because if i dont use this tablet then i feel bad
I think you can use Estar. For more details, see this link.

I will see the link sir .. and thanks for your help I will remember you in my prayers
SGPT/ALT is 9 and SGOT/AST is 11. The SGPT/ALT is very low. What does it mean? I am 50.
I will say that these tests are normal and no need to worry.
my SGOT 36.0 U/L AND SGPT 42.6 U/L Please advice
SGOT is normal, and SGPT is boerder-line. Please take more fruits and repeat the liver function test after one month and then let me know the result.

Should I worry?

Your SGOT/SGPT are mildly raised. You need to worry and find the cause like viral hepatitis, and some drugs may increase. Better consult a physician to find the cause.

I think your SGOT/SGPT is raised due to alcohol intake. I will suggest stopping alcohol for at least 2 to 3 months till these enzymes are normal. Then you can take off and on alcohol but not regularly. Otherwise, you will develop cirrhosis of the liver, which ultimately leads to liver failure.
Dear Dr. Diaz
I wonder why AST is specifically more elevated in case of periportal necrosis in Preeclampsia ?
Best, regards
Rivaldo
You may see hypertension, proteinuria, oliguria, pulmonary edema, thrombocytopenia, and elevated transaminase level in preeclampsia. I think these are the complications of preeclampsia.
my sister’s sgpt test’ report says that she has 186 U/L. is it too much? what we can do for her? she is only 9 years old.
What is SGOT, total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatse? Please also ask for viral markers (HBV. HCV).

Your liver function tests are abnormal, and you must have clinical jaundice. You should check your viral profile like HBV, HCV, and HAV.
Doctor, sgpt and sgot is in u/lit
my sgpt is 31u/l and i’m a 20 yr old female . is it high?
What about SGOT?. But this is in the normal range.
MY DR. JUST ASKED ME TO GET THAT SGPT TEST DONE ALONG WITH THYRIOD. WHEN MY SGPT RESULTS WERE OUT THEY SAID IN FEMALES IT HAS TO BE 21U/L AND BELOW AND ACCORDINGLY MY LEVELS ARE HIGH. PRETTY CONFUSED AS MY REPORT INDICATES NORMAL WHERE AS DR. SAYS ITS NOT, AND THEN THEY ASKED ME TO DO FIBRO SCAN SAYING I MIGHT HAVE A FATTY LIVER AND AFTER DOING THAT MY RESULT WAS NORMAL.
My SGOT is 47 and SGPT is 16. I am 22 years old female. I have lost my appetite and doesn’t feel hungry at all.
SGOT is the upper limit of normal. I will advise you to repeat the complete liver function test and ESR after at least 1 to 2 months. Meanwhile, avoid aspirin intake. Are you taking any other medications?
Sir my LFT(6 para) test is

Sir it can be normal my niece age is 18 years
These liver function tests are abnormal, indicating hepatitis. Have you done viral profiles like HBV and HCV? She needs consultation to find the cause of jaundice.

Your SGPT is raised, which indicates liver cell injury.
Fasting glucose level is in the normal range. Cholesterol is also not high.
You need a thorough workup for the liver. I hope you are not taking any painkillers?

Your fasting glucose favor diabetes mellitus, so you should rule out diabetes mellitus. Please check fasting glucose level at least three times, and if still, it is more than 126 mg/dL, then it is diabetes mellitus.
Your cholesterol level is raised.
It would be best if you had a physical checkup to rule out Diabetes mellitus.
Also, it would be best if you had diet control for cholesterol.
Hi DOCTOR, I RECENTLY DID MY LFT AND RESULTS ARE SGOT 56.4, SGPT 54.7, DIRECT AND INDIRECT BILLIRUBIN SKIGHTLY INCREASED,
I HAVE GILBERT’S SYNDROME ALSO I DID MY SONOGRAPHY, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. EXCEPT SLUDGE IN GALL BLADDER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
This is a benign condition and there is no specific treatment. Gilbert’s syndrome is a life-long disorder.
You have to avoid some of the drugs. here are a few of those.
1. Gemfibrozil, for lowering cholesterol.
2. Statins, also used for reducing cholesterol, when taken with gemfibrozil.
Please see this links:

In every test, I have noticed my bilirubin level has been elevated what is the reason behind it. I have consulted a few doctors but they have not been able to find the reason behind it.
Your case fits into Dubin-johnson syndrome, but your SGPT level does not favor it.
https://labpedia.net/dubin-johnson-syndrome-diagnosis/

Kindly tell me what to do
Definitely, alcohol will affect SGOt/SGPT and GGT levels. Your cholesterol level is also normal upper limit (borderline case). You have not mentioned the HDL.
LDL and VLDL are atherogenic and predispose to heart diseases. I will suggest quitting alcohol, and it will damage the liver.

Can gastritis be cured without medicines by dietary changes sir?
Hi doc my sgpt is 287 but other than that all my test are normal
My doc ask me to undergo liver ultrasound and these is what it says:
The liver is normal in size with a span of 13.7cm. Its border is smootu but there is marke increase in the parenchymal echogenicity and the intrahepatic veins not visible. There is no focal lesion nor calcification
The common bile duct and intrahepatic ducts are not dilated
Hi doc, my sgpt level is 287, so my doctor said to undergo liver ultra sound and this is my ultra sound says
The liver is normal in size with a span of 13.7cm. Its border is smootu but there is marke increase in the parenchymal echogenicity and the intrahepatic veins not visible. There is no focal lesion nor calcification
The common bile duct and intrahepatic ducts are not dilated
And another thing doc, i read in the internet that they need 5ml of blood for sgpt test
The clinic i went only got 1ml of my blood
SGPT is raised, you need a complete liver function test including gamma GT. 5 mL blood is ideal, but someone may get enough serum from one mL. Your SGPT indicates liver cell injury.
Thank u doc, another thing doc
All my test are normal, only my sgpt is high
Thanks again doc.
Is SGPT 56, SGOT 29 normal? Took flagyl and librax for some days.
THank you in advance (man)
SGPT is raised (abnormal), but SGOT is in the normal range. SGPT indicates liver cell injury. When SGPT is raised, there should be a mild increase in the SGOT, which is not in your case. Better check both parameters after one month.
My name is Mehedi hasan. My test result from LABAID
HBsAg=Positive sample OD >10000 Cut-Off OD 1.0
Bilirubin=1.1 mg/dl
ALT(SGPT)=51 U/L
AST(SGOT)= 32 U/L
HBeAg= Negative
Anti-HCV= Negative
Anti-HBe= Positive sample OD 400 Cut-Off OD 100
These findings of HBsAg and HBeAg indicate chronicity. Your SGPT is mildly raised, but SGOT is normal. I will suggest keeping an eye on liver function tests or getting the treatment for the hepatitis B virus.
Usually both ast and alt are high in hepatic metastasis?
In metastatic, infiltrate of carcinoma depends upon the involvement of the liver area. There may be raised AST/ALT and alkaline phosphatase levels.

hi…sir 5 day before sgpt test 45iu/l sgot 31iu/l but now today sgpt 576.8 sgot 509u/L I hv jaundice what happen sir….plz suggest
It means your liver function tests are abnormal. Would you please advise viral markers (HBV, HCV, and HAV)?
My sgpt is 110 in liver function test rest is in normal range what it say
Raised SGPT indicates liver cell injury. It needs a thorough workup to find the cause.
MY SGOT IS 331 OR SGPT IS 171 PLS SOME ADVISE
SGOT/SGPT raised level indicates liver cell injury. You should have viral markers and have ultrasound abdomen. Please keep on checking the liver function tests every three months at least.

Your reports are not good. It looks you are not living a healthy life. Your HDL is low, good cholesterol, while LDL is high, which is bad cholesterol. Liver enzymes are raised. Please consult a physician to find the cause of these abnormalities.
Hi Doc! My SGPT is 358.1 and alkaline is 135.7 Before My test , Im having really bad abdominal pain in the center . What to do ?
Your SGPT is raised while alkaline phosphatase is in a normal range. I will suggest complete liver function tests and viral markers. You have not mentioned the age.

Your liver functions are abnormal. What about total bilirubin?. I will suggest doing complete liver function tests. I hope you are not taking alcohol?. Your enzymes indicate liver cell injury. It needs full workup and consultation with the physician.
My sgpt is 124 sgot 165 and ggt 65
Is it serious sir ?
Both enzymes are raised. Not good for your health. Please consult some gastroenterologist and have complete work up. Health is wealth.
Hi Dr. Riaz,
I drink 3 times a week heavy (270ml in one sitting) from last 10 years. I have been reading on LFT and so did the test.
My SGOT is 38 (0<30) and SGPT is 95 (0<45) rest stuff are all under normal range.
Can you please advice me further diagnosis.
PS: I am healthy and fit and heavily cut on my drink from last few weeks (sitting once in a week 180-240 ml)
Raised SGPT level indicates liver cell injury. SGOT is not specific for liver cell injury as compared to SGPT. I suggest that you quit the alcohol and repeat the liver function test after 3 months. Otherwise, you may develop liver cirrhosis.
Hii sir
My bilirubin total 1.42
Sgot 65.14
Sgpt 76.48
I am 21 y old
Your SGOT and SGPT are raised, indicating liver cell injury. I hope you are not taking alcohol?. If not then go for hepatic viral profile.
Hi Doctor
6 months back I have done full body check up and I have found my Sgpt -150 ,sgot-72 then I did test for hepatitis B&C and it also came negative and then I farther proceed with ultrasound and it came as grade 2 fatty liver and size of the liver was 17.2 .
By that time I was 30 ,hight 164 cm and weight 81 kg.
I controlled my food habits and did regular exercise and now it is showing after 6 months sgpt-72,sgot-48 and other parameters are ok.
How long it will take to come back to normal or any thing to concern and do I need to go for fibro scan
If liver cells are insulted by alcohol or anything else, it will take at least 3 months to regenerate. Also, try to take more fruits. In your case, it is 6 months, and still, SGPT is raised, indicating liver cell injury. If it remains elevated, then consult a gastroenterologist (or hepatologist).
Forgot to mention my weight is 62 now
My daughter is 2.5 years old today she felt pain in stomach when I done her sgpt it’s too high 450 now what I please guide me
Which doctor I need to consult .
You should have complete liver function tests (LFT) and an ultrasound abdomen. After workup, consult a pediatrician.
Hello dr I’m 35 my lft

Please comment
Are you sure the Total bilirubin is 9? Your SGOt/SGPT is raised, which favors liver cell damage. First, clarify the total bilirubin level. Please also check the viral hepatitis profile (HBV, HCV).
Yes please the range is 3.42 – 20.5 umol/l after the text the doctor advise is to stop alcohol and I have been taking livolin forte for three since the test
Great.

Method
In your lab tests, SGPT is slightly raised, and uric acid is also. You need to repeat SGPT/SGOT and uric acid after at least 1 to 3 months. If still raised, you will need medicine for uric acid and a detailed workup for liver function.
Thank you Doc. Appreciate so much
My wife is 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant. She had severe itching problem but now it’s resolved. LFT level on 14.02.2022 SGPT 226 ,SGOT 149, ALP 188 ,GT 44 all others are in normal range. Fasting bile acid test (4.5 umol/l) with in normal range. no symptom of jiaundice. no other symptoms. HAV IgM non reactive, HAV IGg reactive, anti HEV IGg and IgM non reactive, HbsAg non reactive and anti Hcv non reactive. PT 10 sec., APTT, 25 sec.,.INR 0.91. Abdominal ultrasound showed liver has mildly increased echogenicity. After some dietry change and taking hepa merz syrup for 10 days. Repeat LFT on 24.02.2022, the SGPT 77, SGOT 36 and ALP 176 all other are in normal range. Up till now, according to USG, dilivery is normal. I already consulted two gynecologists, one,s advice is normal dilivery and other in favor of inducing dilivery at 38 week due risk of baby stillbirth. With these elevated liver enzyme, can we go for normal dilivery or should induce dilivery at 38 weeks. Suggest some advice.
A gynecologist will give a better answer. Your lab reports say that she has hepatitis A infection and is in recovery. Hepatitis E infection is dangerous in pregnancy, but that test is negative. I will suggest That you consult the third gynecologist and see what she says.
Thank you sir for your quick response. On the basis of these level of elevated enzyme, can we diagonse inertahepatic cholestasis or Acute fatty liver disease?
Please see this link; this may be of help.

This medicine is causing damage to your liver that leads to an increase in SGPT level. You can stop this medicine and repeat SGPT/SGOT after 1 to 2 months.
My test result shows SGPT(ALT) 115 IU/L
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE 44.5 IU/L
GAMMA GT 51 IU/L
Please help interpret
SGPT is raised, and Gamma GT is a very mild increase. It indicates liver cell injury. This may be due to some drugs, alcohol, or viral hepatitis. It would be good to check your liver function tests (LFT) and hepatic viral profile.
Why should you not use hemolyzed serum for ALT determination?
Because RBCs are also the source of ALT.
I am 43 years old Male my
SGPT is 43
SGOT 23
Kindly advise if there is something to worry about? thank you very much…
SGPT is the normal upper limit, and SGOT is normal. I will suggest repeating the test after one month and taking more fruits. At this stage no need to worry.
Thank you very much Dr. Riyaz… more power to you…
Thanks.

Hi.
I did test 2 weeks ago for my job alplication. My sgpt is 51, and sgot 38.
So i need to get some medicine and retake the test. And now my sgpt is 34 and sgot same 38.
Can you please explain what happened to me 2 weeks ago? Im so curious
Thanks
SGPT mild raise may be due to intake of pain killers even. So that might be due to some drugs effect. After a few days liver becomes normal.

GGT is a very sensitive test. This may be due to medications (drugs). Sometime medication like statin may increase GGT. I think to keep an eye on Liver function tests.
My age is 40. I have done a complete liver function test. My SGOT is 38.60 and SGPT is 80.60. Rest parameters are in the normal range. My SGPT was found normal 5 months back. In the meantime, I have taken some medicines for issues of osteoarthritis. Please advise
SGPT is raised, which might be due to medication for osteoarthritis. You need exercise to overcome osteoarthritis changes. Because 40 years is not the age of osteoarthritis changes. Exercise, exercise, and exercise is the best medication for osteoarthritis changes.

Dear Dr. Riaz,
I really appreciate you helping out everyone. I am male 44 years old and have been doing 48 to 60 hours fasts to lose weight. I have lost around 10 kg, however, I am still overweight. Otherwise I am not suffering from any problems that I know of.
I did a Liver profile and following are my readings:
Serum Total Bilirubin: 1.3
Serum Direct Bilirubin: 0.4
S.Indirect Bilirubin: 0.9
Serum Gamma GT: 27
SGPT (ALT): 66
Serum Alk phosphatase: 124
SGOT (AST): 35
Please advise, thank you!
Thanks for the remarks. Your SGPT is slightly raised, which indicates liver cell injury. If you are taking pain killer, that may also raise SGPT. Repeat SGPT/SGOT after one month. As regards being overweight, keep yourself active. You can try intermittent fasting. Control sugary things and carbohydrates.

Dear Sir ,
Thank you for your reply ! Regarding My alcohol usage – I am a social drinker & I used to have alcohol once in a month only , but in last 6 months I used to have thrice a week due to work pressure . Now for past 1 month I am not using alcohol. Will it be a reason??
* In between of this last 6 months I used to follow my own diet plan ( I Was skipped daily breakfast 4 times in a week , used to have cooked vegtable and liite curd rice at noon on every day and in Night I used to have rasam rice and curd rice on daily basis ). Will it be a reason ?
My USG Report – ABDOMEN & PELVIS

PLS ADVICE DOCTOR . I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY
I think you are doing good. Once a month social drink will not damage your system, particularly the liver. This is not advisable to skip breakfast. The best would be to take 2 to 4 glasses of water on an empty stomach, then after 30 minutes to take breakfast.

Sir i am 44 yrs MaleHeight = 5.10 ft:inches 88 kg weight & Regular use of Alcohol intake ..since last 12yrs | Take healthy diet + regular execerise (225 heart points/week) as per Google Fit app
Recently done Annual Health Check, and as per ultrasound Liver measures = 12.90cm & both lobes show Grade 2 fatty changes (Grade 2 fatty liver)
however liver parameters show in report as normal :
Total Bilirubin = 0.306 mg/dl

Indirect Bilirubin = 0.19
SGPT/ALT = 20.30
Creatinine = 0.80
All other parameters including cholestrol are Normal. Kidneys Normal, Echo Cardio Normal

Sir, Is Grade 2 fatty liver re-versible ?? If yes then, how much time it will take to reverse liver health to normal ?
Is there any indication of liver damage as per above parameters ?
Kindly provide your valuable feed back . Thanks much.
No doubt that liver functions are normal, but due to alcohol use, fatty changes in the liver have started. That will leads to cirrhosis of the liver, which is not a reversible change. If you stop taking alcohol now, there will definitely be an improvement in liver changes.
Thank you Riaz sir for your guidance..
Till how much time i need to cease/stop alcohol intake in order to completely reverse grade 2 fatty changes ? 4 weeks / 3months / 9 months ? Will not have alcohol at all during this time.
Can in-take of extract of Moringa Oleifera (Drumstick) + Acacia Arabica (Babool) cause fatty liver / heptacellular changes in Liver ? I take this combination of extract in warm water daily once for knee joints .
Will go for US (UltraSound) post confirmed period but may not be able to completely avoid alcohol in the future !
Thanks in advance.
I think stopping alcohol is the only answer. If you start again, then again liver will be damaged. If you want alcohol, try having a social drink once a week or a month.
Hello Dr. Riaz,
I have had hepatitis A for 3 months, my bilirubin has went down to 8.4 mg/dL from its peak at 15.5 mg/dL. However my SGOT went back up from 44 to 59 U/L (previously peaked at 192 U/L), and the same with my SGPT, it went back up from 39 to 83 U/L (previously peaked at 755 U/L). Is it normal to have fluctuation during the recovery phase?
Hepatitis A is a self-limiting disease. SGOT/SGPT level may fluctuate, and it should become normal when the bilirubin level is normal.
Sir my 2 years daughter ALT is 691 microliter with orange red Urine what I should do further
You need to do a complete liver function test with a viral hepatitis profile (HBV, HCV, HAV).
Please send me complete liver function tests and viral hepatitis (HBV, HCV, HAV) profiles.
I am having sgpt 73 and sgot 42 all other liver functions are normal.Please advice some remedy
Please check your viral hepatitis profile (HBV, HCV). Please let me know the GGT (gamma GT) level. I hope you are not taking pain killer medication.
I have SGPT/ALT 10.6 mmo/L, please advice
This is in the normal range. No need to worry.
Hi
My sgpt is 68

SGOT/SGPT is raised, indicating liver cell injury. I hope she is not taking pain killer. She needs consultation with a gastroenterologist. I will recommend doing an ultrasound abdomen.
Ultrasound abdomen shows grade 1 fatty liver changes everything else is normal. She got discharged last sunday and on medication like dollo 650 for 3-4 days after discharge.
Hello Doctor good evening, After my jaundice recovery (3 months) I feel itching in both the lower legs at night times . Pls suggest me a solution Doctor.
Actually I am fontan patient . I underwent four heart surgeries. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with Hepatitis A 7.9 and Hepatitis E was 1.9. 2 months ago my sgpt reached to 1500 and bilirubin was 23 . last week ago I had liver function test my sgpt was 65 and after 1 week i.e today I again had a liver function test . My sgpt is 81 . slightly increase in sgpt
Please check your HCV infection. There is fluctuation in HCV infection. If negative, then take more fruits.
Sgot 33, sgpt 51, ggt 46 (female, no other symptoms encountered)
Had taken oral contraceptives for almost 2 months
There is a slight increase in the SGPT. Please check your viral profile. If negative, take more fruits and check SGPT/SGOT after one month. Oral contraceptives may be the cause.

Please suggest if any
There is increased indirect bilirubin. That may be due to Gilbert syndrome, where treatment is not needed. But please check your Liver function tests after 2 to 3 months.
In Golbert syndrome, SGOT/SGPT is always normal.
Total Bilirubin: 1.30

I have grade 1 fatty liver and fibro scan shows 4.4.
Please guide me sir. This is normal ?
ASAT/ALAT is raised, indicating liver cell injury. I hope you are not taking alcohol. Try more fruits and their juices.
AST/ALT is raised, indicating liver cell injury. I ope you are not taking alcohol. Please take more fresh fruits and their juices.
SGPT – 45.8

I am 38 years male and taking lipiez 20 MG and concure 2.5 everyday. Is this normal range ?
Statin mostly cause liver enzyme abnormality. SGPT is in the upper normal range. Please stop statins for one month and then check liver enzymes. Most likely these will be in the normal range.
Sir,
I have 40% blockage in my heart so not able to Statin. Is there any alternate way available to improve SGPT ?
Cardiologists can advise a milder form of statin like Ruvastatin 5 mg.
my 3 year old kid had Entrovrius and high fever on 5/13-14. SGPT was 146. 5/15 fever was gone. On 5/16 SGPT rised to 210. The doctor let us out of Hospital on 5/17 since the fever is gone and told us to repeate the SGPT test within a month. Should I be worried? The SGPT didn’t drop when we were let go of the Hospital.
I think your physician is right. Please repeat SGPT after one month. Meanwhile check his viral profile (HBV, HCV, and HAV).
Am Having Hepatitis B +ve and result is as below.
Bilirubin: 1.80
ALT/SGPT : 1,163.20
SGOT/AST : 433.00
GGT : 153
Usually How many days it takes to get it normal.
Hepatitis B can be treated. I think you need the treatment for HBV. After start of the treatment may take few weeks to become normal.
I recently noticed hypertension and I consulted internal medicine doctor. He gave medicine for high BP to be taken every day morning “coveram”. Further, he advised some tests like Alt (GPT), Electrloytes, BUN, cholesterol, creatinine, triglycerides, TSH3. All tests were normal except Alt (GPT) which is 73. Advise please.
Please check your gamma-GT and alkaline phosphatase. Sometime medicines cause injury to liver cells and this may be due to Coveram.
I had hepatitis A. After 6 week of diagnosis my sgpt is 55. is it ok?
