Hi Doctor,Almost two weeks before I got my Medical Report, mandatory to travel to one of GCC country. My SPGT value was 69 and they advised me to come after one week. At the same day I got my Medical Report, I went to another lab and repeated the same test. it was now 54. For your kind information I am a healthy man with age 35 and weight 77 KG and has spent enough time in KSA & UAE for my job. For the last 3-4 months I am in Pakistan. Also its winter time and most of the food used is non veg. like fish, meat, chicken ehhs etc. So my question is what is the alarming value of SPGT? Can I get below 40 in the second test after 8 days? Also is there any seasonal effects?Your kind and quick reply shall highly be obliged.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, AGPT ISA liver enzymes with normal level below 40 IU/L.SGPT is usually done along with GOT enzyme and both the enzymes are elevated together is various disease processes.SGPT is present in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes or liver cells. Any injury or damage to the liver cells will cause an elevation of SGPT. However, an increase up to 69 and 54 is not alarming and does not signify any major disease process. So, do not worry and get the test repeated after a couple of days. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
