Had to go for a full body check up for a comprehensive insurance scheme for my company and the results are thus: 1. SGOT: 69.7 U/L 2. SGPT: 27.2 U/L 3. Total Cholesterol: 218.3 mg/dl 4. Triglycerides: 219.4 mg/dl 5. PCV: 48% 6. HB: 16.0 g/dl 7. WBC: 10,400 cmm 8. ESR: 6 mm/hr Saw values of SGOT/SGPT seemingly higher than what is shown online. Though the doctors didnt say much on this, and only mentioned elevated cholesterol, I seem worried. Is all ok?
Hi, Thanks for using the Chat Doctor. I am happy to ad Chat Doctor.  The normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is from 7 to 56 units per liter of serum. AST (GOT) is normally found in a variety of tissues including liver, heart, muscle, kidney, and brain. It is released into the serum when any one of these tissues is damaged.  The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels (which are not significantly high) also depends upon the entire clinical evaluation of an individual, and so it is best done by physicians experienced in evaluating liver disease and muscle disease. If there are no other symptoms hence he would have mentioned only on your elevated cholesterol which could be affecting your other organs, hence control on your cholesterol and a re-test after few months can be evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks
