SGPT level

I am suffering from abdomen pain in the left and upper left side. I had my blood test. Everything is normal other than SGPT which is 78 and also SGOT is 34(35 is the maximum limit). What could be the reason for that?? and  what  precautions should I take??

Your liver of course is on your ride side, so your left side pain may or may not be related to your elevated liver enzyme level. Your SGPT (ALT) is only mildly elevated and your SGOT (AST) is within the normal range. Most doctors would simply monitor your liver numbers to see if the elevation remains over several months, then act if needed. But your left side pain may require addition work from your doctor soon. Hope all goes well.
