Brief Answer:
marginally high but not clinically significant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your SGPT-60 level is very marginally elevated (but not too high) and it does not have any clinical significance especially in the absence clinical symptoms.

All these LFTs (SGPT with SGOT) are highly sensitive liver function tests,so they get easily raised following oily or fatty meal or even few alcohol drinks.

Having cold or even paracetamol tablet is also not known to raise SGPT level.

But it is NOT dangerous and probably it will come down to normal by itself within few days.

So, do not worry about it and possibly avoid fatty/junk/oily foods further or alcohol if you take.

You can repeat the test for SGPT after 3 or 4 weeks on fasting blood sample and most probably it will come within normal limits.

You may also take syrup LIV-52 DS 2TSF daily which is a herbal preparation having hepato-protective property and may be beneficial for you.

Hope this helps and let me know your more questions.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
