SGPT (ALT)

[Tunn73]

I am a 34 year old female.
I tried to overdose on 12/14/2007. My husband found me and called 911. I had taken approx. the following amounts of pills: Tylenol arthritis 70 pills, Trazodone 30 pills and Advil PM 30 pills. The emergency room pumped my stomach and flushed charcoal into my stomach, according to the hospitals Doctors. I am seeking treatment for my depression now. What my question is, I just had my SGPT (ALT) results taken on 01/10/2008 and my results were mailed to me at home. My SGPT (ALT) results were 72. What does that mean? Here is a quick Medical history on me, I have the following problems: Hashimoto's dx, Anemia and gerds. (I am also be tested for von willebrand dx). Anyways, I just wanted to know about any information that you could give me regarding my SGPT (ALT) results of 72. PLease let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

All of those meds you take go through your liver.  I suspect the slleping pill could even be harder on your liver than you think..  If I take even an ambiem my eyes are yellow the next day .  research the meds you are on .  Good luck

stacey555, I am not taking any other medications that are hard on my liver, I have my medical history and med list in my profile, if that's helpful. I am being retested again and waiting on the results to get mailed back to me, guess I am just worried because of the damage that I may have caused to my kidneys and my liver. Thank you for the help.

I hope that you are doing better now (and I'm sure your family does also).  From what I have briefly read, stacey555 is correct.  Here is a quick link to the gastrology forum.  This forum might help you out.

I believe that is your liver enzymes and of course that is going to be elevated if you tried to overdose.  Do you take any other meds that can be hard on your liver?
