Elevated SGPT

[Murali kannan]

I am 31 yrs old resident of India. I am a non vegetarian, smokes 2 cigarette a day and used to drink 90ml Alcohol daily. Recently went for a complete check up and found that my Cholestrol levels are high (260). HDL - 34, LDL - 164, Triglycerides - 300, LDL/HDL ratio - 7.6, SGPT - 54 and SGOT - 28.

The doctor prescribed be Ezevas 10mg, Zyloric, Neucobal Forte and Alcoliv for one month.

I was told by my friend that consuming Ezevas for lowering cholestrol is not good for lever.  I would like to have your opinion on this and how to get out of this elevated SGPT.  Also how can I become normal without taking any medicine.

Thank you.

Your ast of 28 is in the normal range and the Alt of 54 is only slightly elevated.

These two numbers alone are not indicative of hepatitis.  Do you have any risk factors?

High level SGPT shows that you might have Hepatitis C Virus in your body so better get tested of Hepatitis first.
