Hi doctor, My bother got jaundice and in Liver function test the serum SGOT is 1607 U/L at 37 and serum SGPT is 2998 U/L at 37. I hope the levels of mentioned serum is too high. This abnormality is due to jaundice or will there be any liver disorders. NOTE
Hello, Thanks for writing your query to us. Jaundice is yellowish discoloration of skin & mucous membrane. It is just a symptom of the disease & not a disease itself. There are many causes for jaundice. The degree of rise in GOT & SGPT gives fair idea about the cause of jaundice. Since your brothers GOT is 1607 & SGPT is 2998 that can be due to acute hepatocellular injury either due to infection, toxins or Chat Doctor. There can be transient phase of raised levels of liver enzymes followed by downward trend of liver enzymes. Wish you good health.
