My father has been suffering from Cirrhosis . recent reports carry SGOT value 92. Its out of range dat i kno. But how much it is considered in medical terms? i mean is it too bad?
Hi, thanks for the query. Cirrhosis is a partly reversible destruction of Liver cells. Liver cells have very high level of generation capacity but in Cirrhosis, this capacity decreases. It is commonly due to alcoholism and or viral infections like Hepatitis B. SGPT levels indicate the severity of the disease. In this case it appears to be moderate. Alcohol needs to be completely stopped, diet should have more green vegetables and fruits. Fatty foods need to be minimized.  Chat Doctor. 52 DS one tablet twice daily may be tried. Some studies have showed good results. Please discuss with your doctor regarding this. Regards
