I recently had a metabolic panel blood test done. My SGOT level was 81 and my SGPT level was 144. Of course these are definitely high and a cause for concern. I have never been diagnosed with hep but I am overweight and have a family history of diabetes (I have not been diagnosed). Are these levels extremely high and what can I do to lower them?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. High GOT and SGPT levels associated with overweight is usually due to fatty liver. This can be diagnosed by a good ultrasound examination. You need to take care to bring these levels to normal at the earliest. You will need an integrated treatment comprising exercise, liver medications and dietary modifications. Regards
