Hey !! My mother in law is suffering from breast cancer for the past 26 years now it has affected her lungs now she is lying unconscious and blood work shows raised ESR and high SGPT . She is being fed by the tube so what is the reason of the raised levels
Hi and welcome of Chat Doctor. ESR is non-specific findings which indicate some inflammatory process in our body, so it can be caused by pneumonia or any other infection. Also ESR can be elevated in malignant diseases. Sgpt is marker for live damage but also can be raised in some other conditions. It is possible that there is liver metastases due to cancer. Thanks for the query. Regards
