Hello, I have been exercising for 40 days now, and I drink 1 scoop of WHEY protein shake after my 2 hours training 3 times per week.I did a blood test and I realized that my SGOT went from 18 (previous test a year old) to 102. could it be a lab mistake or you have a logical explanation for this.Thank you.NAB
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It may be both, but also it may be signed of fatty liver or acute liver damage sue to viral hepatitis or alcoholic hepatitis. You need to check other liver markers such as bilirubin and ALP to have complete diagnostic picture and also liver ultrasound is required. False positive results are not common, and protein shake will rarely cause liver enzyme abnormalities. Wish you good health. Regards
