I am a woman 57 years old started taking medicine lescol xl 80 to lower my cholesterol level but after 4 months of taking it the test showed an elevation in sgpt it is 37 (normal level should me less than 31) n.b.
Hi Nadia;welcome to Chat Doctor Your level of SGPT is mild high YES you have correctly noted that it is because of cholesterol medicine. These medicines do produce changes in liver function & so the SGPT & liver profile needs to be monitored. The only thing I would suggest is to consult your doctor & he may advise you to stop the medicine or may change it as you may require medicine for your cholesterol take care thanks
