Good day, doc. My name is AAAAA . My father just got his lab result and it showed elevated sgpt of 93 from 50 on his first lab test. I just want to ask what it means and what s the best diet for him. He is 56 yo and active. He is currently taking losartan to manage his hypertension . I m not sure if he was also prescribed before with simvastatin. Thank you!
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. The rise in the SGPT level can be due to many causes. The most common cause is fatty liver disease. Sometimes it can be due viral infections. Medications like statins also can cause a rise in SGPT. Viral marker tests and ultrasound scan of the abdomen should be done. The treatment depends on the cause. I hope that answers your question.
