Can you tell me what should I do to get these numbers back in order ? Do I need urgent medical attention ? Is my liver damaged ?
Hello, I had gone through your reports carefully and can understand your concern very well.  SGPT and GOT are liver enzymes which levels are increased during any kind of liver injury like hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, carcinoma, etc. I hope you have done your lipid profile with fasting blood, because if its random, then chances of triglycerides of getting high are more. So if not in fasting mode, then I would advise you to repeat the lipid profile after 12 hours of fasting. Also check your HDL and LDL cholesterol levels. Besides want to know your age and weight, taking any medications for long term illness, Chat Doctor.  You can get back to me anytime after all this information.  Because your SGPT and GOT are very high (normal is less than 45), some kind of liver involvement is already there for sure. So I would recommend you to go for ultrasound of abdomen to find out the liver injury.  Triglycerides are very, very high, and it definitely damages your liver in long run. As per my opinion, you might be having fatty liver due to high TGS. If I were your treating doctor, then I would recommend you much lifestyle modifications like......1. Take high fiber diet like green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, etc.2. Avoid oily and junk food.3. Do regular brisk walking for at least 40 minutes a day 4. Stay away from alcohol or smoking5. Do regular meditations to lessen your stress Follow these for 3 months and repeat your liver and lipid profile. If triglycerides remains high, then you need to take statin group of
