hello ..
i just signed up for this sight to actually help my brother to find a way to lower his sgpt level..
after medical exam they found out that his sgpt level is way too high.
his sgpt is 192.. (that's maybe the level) and he needs to have 42.
he drinks a lot of alcohol this past 6 months so maybe that explains why.
according to the doctor, he doesn't have any damage to his liver only too much fats. they recomend exrcise and proper diet.
in one month he drinks no alcohol,he excersise a lot and diet to his food.. actually he lost a lot of weight already..
but after two weeks, when he came back for the test his sgpt level is still too high 182.
my question is .. what proper food can definitely lower that sgpt? the doctor said he doesnt need any medication beacause his liver is totaly fine.. and is it possible to lower sgpt in a week or two???
pls help.. he needs the job but he must pass his medical test.
sincerely,
claire:-)

Thank you very much Craig for the information. I will value this. Hopefully you will always be there if i need some advices with regards to health. God bless u.
Hi Daapurillo,
I'm new to this site, but I suspect there are no doctors in this forum. I think your questions need to be posted elsewhere on the site. Having said that, a doctor is still going to ask for the same info (and maybe more) as myself.
What are your lab results?
What is your weight/height?
How much alcohol do you drink and how often?
What is your diet like?
What is your age?
etc
I suspect from what you say that you think you may have Fatty Liver Disease.
I don't know and cannot tell however here is some information on the condition and IF this is what you have it seems correct diet and exercise can remedy the situation.
In any event, you may want to correct your diet, do some exercise and have your blood tests run again in about a month - 5 weeks and see if there is an improvement in your numbers.
Obesity is by far the most common cause of fatty liver disease. It is estimated that 75% of obese individuals are at risk of developing a simple fatty liver. Up to 23% of obese individuals are at risk of developing an inflamed fatty liver. Besides obesity, nutritional causes are starvation and protein malnutrition, intestinal bypass surgery for obesity, and rapid weight loss.
Certain conditions often accompany and may contribute to this disease, including diabetes mellitus, elevated lipids in the blood, insulin resistance and high blood pressure. Other causes can include genetic factors, drugs and chemicals, such as alcohol, corticosteroids, tetracycline and carbon tetrachloride.
Fatty liver disease can be reversed with a change in the way you live. If the condition is related to excessive alcohol intake, then speak to your doctor about treatment and alcohol control. You can reduce or eliminate drinking with proper medication and support. If your condition is related to obesity, then you must make a commitment to significant lifestyle changes.
It’s easier than you might think to make these changes. A dietician can help you develop the proper menu with the right balance of fat, fibre, and protein. Increasing the level of your physical activity is very important as well. A simple ten minute walk twice a day can drastically improve your condition. You can also do activities that you find enjoyable like walking your dog, gardening or swimming. As you feel better and better, you can increase the time duration and intensity of your exercise routine.
Most patients with fatty liver disease are middle-aged and overweight. The best way to reduce your risk of developing fatty liver is to maintain a healthy weight and normal triglyceride levels. You should also avoid excess alcohol and other substances that could harm your liver. There are certain changes that can be made after diagnosis. Working closely with your doctor and making the necessary changes to your lifestyle can help to make your liver healthy again.
Obviously, if your diet is really awful you also risk damaging your heart as well.
Hopefully others in this forum may be able to give you some advice as well.
But, I reiterate, you NEED to consult a doctor.

Hi Craig i really appreciate your advice to consult a doctor with regards to the laboratory result of my blood test. Iam just scared with the result and dont know the first step to do. I only want to ask the opinion of expert doctors in this forum who can add up for whatever information that my doctor will advice. I never watch my diet, i eat a lot of fatty foods and i drink wine or beer occasionally. Maybe this are the reason that triggers my blood chem result to be eleveted. Thank you.
Hi daapurillo,
Please educate me! It seems like a lot of people who post here have their test results but have not had them explained/interpreted by their doctor. Is this the case?
It is your doctor who knows your background who should be advising you on these results.
Having said that, to say that xyz results are elevated means not very much! Elevated could mean 1 point over the reference range or 100 points over the reference range. In addition you don't supply any other background information about your lifestyle etc.
Based on the above you ask for a prognosis - meaning what the likely outcome of your illness is and how you can medicate yourself to treat this 'illness'.
With the best will in the world, I don't think anyone, including a doctor could give you any advise at all based the information you have posted.
I don't mean to sound harsh, please don't take it that way. I understand that lab results can be scary, but the process of understanding what they mean to you has to start with your doctor.
