Brief Answer: We need to exclude some other possibilities Detailed Answer: First of all, I want to reassure you that usually mild or sometimes even moderately elevated SGOT and SGPT (liver enzymes) do not hint towards any serious or long term liver problem. There are multiple things that can show lab results like yours. However, at the same time, it cannot be taken so easily. There are some minor conditions which can also cause mild elevation in SGOT and SGPT (liver enzymes), some of which include Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, Infectious mononucleosis which are viral infections, being overweight, taking OTC drugs like Paracetamol etc. We need to exclude some other possibilities for elevation of SGOT, SGPT and ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE like Alcoholic hepatitis and due to excess fats such as- Cholelithiasis (Cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), autoimmune hepatitis, Hypothyroidism etc. Generally, there would be 10 - 100 times than that of normal, SGOT, SGPT also elevation in case of acute hepatitis and <10 times than that of normal in case of obstruction in bile circulation. If you have the significant history of alcohol consumption, it is better to undergo ultrasound abdomen and also follow up with the doctor who did your Physical examination. Hope I have answered your query. If you are satisfied, you may now close the discussion and rate the answer. If you like my answers and wish me to answer in future, bring it to my attention: Dr Vasanth. Url link is as follows: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-vasanth/66057 Wish you good health!
