I was diagnosed as Hepatitis B Carrier and according to my physician, its already chronic.. but what is the purpose of the test required SGPT & SGOT inspite of their confirmation that I was already a carrier of the virus. the results of SGPT is ALT (Kinetic)12.28 U/L and SGOT is AST (Kinetic) 20.40 U/L... do i still have the chance to get cured? and what is the result affected to my hepatitis B?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Hepatitis B virus as name suggests infects the liver cells. It causes damage to the liver cells. With resultant damage caused by virus they release the enzyme GOT and SGPT from the liver cells. So by measuring the liver enzymes it gives us idea that how much damage occurred and what is the likely prognosis of the condition. You do not have damaged much of your liver, so there is good prognosis. Please do not Chat Doctor. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
