Can Acid Reflux Affect The SGOt & SGPT Levels?

I was diagnosed with acid reflux early this year, this morning I had my blood test with SGOT at 47 , the normal value is 14-36, and SGPT at 58, the normal value is 9-52. May I know if the acid reflux is in any way connected with the SGOT and SGPT results? I am 57 years old, 5 ft in height, female. Thank you sir.

Brief answer :
SGOT and SGPT levels are not related with acid reflux.

Detailed answer:
Hello.
Thank you for sharing this question in HCM.
High SGOT and SGPT levels are not related to acid reflux. There are some reasons why SGOT and SGPT can be elevated , such as hypercholesterolemia, medications, alcohol , hepatitis etc.

Eventhough this levels of SGOT and SGPT are not to be worried , you should not take medications that may harm liver such as Acetaminophen, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, nitrofurantoin.
You should avoid alcohol use.
You should make a blood check of cholesterol levels ,trigliceride levels, hepatitis B antigen,and hepatitis C antibody, to explore for the possible cause of high levels of SGOT and SGPT.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Please feel free to ask for any other explanation needed.

Kind Regards,
Dr. Juarda
