Could High SGOT And SGPT Be Due To Alcohol Intake?
Hi am a 24 yr old guy weight 85 kg, height 5.6 inches. i have undergone blood test and all tests...except my liver test all are normal, my sgot -82 and sgpt is 232... I had 2 bottle of beers that previous night...is that is the reason for high values?
Brief Answer: You need to do further examinations.
Detailed Answer: Hello, Thank you for using HCM. Alcohol may be one of the causes of high level of SGOT and SGPT, but this happens usually after a chronic consumption. So I don't think that two bottles of beer may have caused this high levels of SGOT, SGPT. Is necessary to make further laboratory tests to exclude viral infections (Hepatitis B, C), autoimmune disorders, or fatty liver disease. You have to make a liver ultrasound also , to see it's structure and dimensions in way to reach a more accurate diagnosis.
Meanwhile do not consume alcohol and don't use medications that may harm liver such as paracetamol, nitrofurantoine (antibiotic) , augmentin (antibiotic).
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer. Kind Regards, Dr. Juarda
