hi,Iam having stomach discomfort and burning sensation for last two weeks.Occassionally I have loose tools too.Last week blood test show an increase in SGOT and SGPT(51 and 151 respectively).Other liver function tests were normal(total protien-6.6,albumin-4.3,globulin-2.3 , A/G ratio-1.8,alkaline phosphatase-95).what can be the possible causes of this elevation.
HelloIncreased SGPT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You may need to take more medicines after complete investigations. Avoid alcohol if you take it. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
