I took about 10 pegs of whiskey since Saturday afternoon till late night. The next morning I had a SGPT test done and the result shows a count of 203. I have however had a normal appetite and no nausea etc. Can the test results be affected by consuption of alcohol? I a going for a Liver Function Test tomorrow. Is it necessary that I have the SGPT test also done again?
Hi and Welcome. I appreciate your concern for the high SGPT level. Yes, consumption of alcohol can cause liver injury which is reflected in the form of high SGPT. Beside SGPT, other enzymes like GGT, GOT are also raised in those who consume alcohol or alcohol containing beverages. A high level of GGT is highly specific for toxin like or Chat Doctor. DSO, beside liver function tests you are advised to undergo an abdominal ultrasound to study the extent of liver injury.
