Question: Got my S G P T test today that is 60.8 what is this what should i do ?? Lost wieght 15 kg in last 1 year and feel very lazy and weak.
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
Although slightly high levels of SGPT can be found without any reason also but a loss of 15 kg of weight in a year does indicate that there is some problem and needs to be investigated.
Since there can be various causes for weight loss as well as high SGPT,I need to ask certain questions from you do that we can proceed ahead and narrow down the possible causes.
Do you take alcohol and if yes then how much?
Do you smoke or is there any history of drug abuse?
Is there any complaint of increased urination and increased appetite ?
Is there any complaint of nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,pain abdomen,cramps abdomen,constipation?
Does your hands tremble?
Is there any preference for heat or cold?
Is there any history of hair loss ?
Do you experience any persistent fever or cough?
Do you consume any regular medication like pain killers,herbal preparations,?
Please supply the list of medicines being taken by you.
Do you suffer from stress or depression?
Have you consulted any doctor and if yes,then what did he say?
Have you undergone any investigations and if yes what are they?
Any other symptom which you would want to describe?
I know it is a long list of questions but very important to decide the further course of action.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks

Hello XXXXXXX
Alcohol is the single most important cause for your high SGPT levels while smoking,depression and lack of appetite seem to be the cause for accentuating your weightloss.
However there could be some basic underlying medical condition like diabetes,tuberculosis,any gastrointestinal disorder or sometimes rare problems like cancer or HIV.
Pain below knee and lethargy could be due to lack of VIT D and VIT B 12 as these become quite common because of lack of good diet and alcoholism.
You require to consult an XXXXXXX medicine specialist and get thoroughly investigated to find the cause like x-ray chest,CBC,lipid profile,liver function tests,blood sugar fasting and PP,thyroid function tests,VIT D and VIT B 12 estimation,ultrasound abdomen etc.
Specific treatment would depend upon finding the cause.
Apart from medications you have to bring your life back on track by quitting alcohol completely for at least 6 months and quitting smoking for ever.
Start doing regular aerobic exercises and yoga.These will help you a lot.
Consume fresh fruits,green vegetables and dry fruits.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
