SGPT level

[Jayarajanviswanathan]

I have gilbert syndrome and fatty liver. Recently when i checked liver function test the results are as follows. SGOT- 46, SGPT-125, and alkaline  Phosphates 128. I also have a mild iritating sensation on the left abdomen. Please let me know the SGPT value is alarming?

I'm sorry, it appears you know what you have.  I was just searching for the SGPT or SGOT

Hi there, I wasn't sure about this so looked it up, got this answer from a doctor who used to be on here. I hope this will help a bit. If not let me know I will look for more information.

Serum Glutamic Oxalocetic Transaminase(SGOT) or AST is an enzyme found primarily in the liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, and muscles. Its normal reference range is Normal Adult Range: 0 - 42 U/L Optimal Adult Reading: 21.

Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase or ALT is an enzyme found primarily in the liver but also to a lesser degree, the heart and other tissues. It is useful in diagnosing liver function more so than SGOT levels. Normal Adult Range: 0 - 48 U/L Optimal Adult Reading: 24

In your case,SGPT levels are greater than SGOT. Alcohol is one of the most important offending agent for liver, but it typically causes a rise in SGOT which is more than SGPT (SGOT/SGPT ratio is more than 2).So in your case,alcohol is not the offending agent. Important causes for elevated SGPT are viral hepatitis B and C, fatty liver, certain hepatotoxic drugs, and autoimmune liver diseases.Pls get your self evaluated for these conditions from a gastroenterologist.
