I am a diabetic of 38 years.  My blood work today showed the sgpt(42)and sgot (46) were slightly elevated.  Everything else was normal.  My cholesterol was 195, my triglyceride was 59, my hdl was 79, and ldl was 104.  Could it possibly be a diet issue.  I have been eating more fatty foods than normal, and have craved and eaten coconut lately.  I am 54, through menopause and everything seems to be topsy turvy.  My mom died 2 years ago with cirrosis of the liver and she never drank a drop in her life.  I am not a drinker of alcoholic beverages either.   Advise please!
Thank you for the query. As per history, you a 54yrs old lady (through menopause), a long term diabetic (around 38yrs) with slightly deranged Liver enzymes. Your lipid profile is within acceptable limits. Your profile is similar to a condition known as Non-Alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is common in diabetics (though the liver enzymes are more deranged in this condition). Consumption of fatty diet, may indeed be a cause. It is recommended to avoid refined carboy Chat Doctor.
