Addicted To Alcohol, Smoking, Eat Healthy Food. Have Elevated Sgot. Am I At Risk?
hi doc. Am 40 years old, male and been a seaman for 13 yrs now. I smoke a lot and drink wisky or brandy one glass a day. I also eat a lot of green veggies and fruits. I always have my annual chk up and just now I have elevated sgot ,58.3. All other blood tests are normal. Am I at risk? What should I do? Thanks and more power.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum .
Let me explain you that consuming of 200 ml wine /day is risky (if taken on empty stomach).
But you don't worry because mere 58.3 mg SGOT ( AST ) is non-specific and does not a cause of concern.
If possible diminish amount of alcohol /days .
Good luck as not test require for you.
