Could Hyperthyroidism Cause SGPT Level To Increase?

I am a 48 yr old female. I was diagnosed with HBP last Feb and prescribed norvasc 5mg. I was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and blood work showed by SGPT level to be 95. I am not a drinker-maybe wine socially, but haven't drank in a year or more. Could hyperthyroidism cause this level to increase. Thanks

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. sgpt is a liver enzyme. Its level increase in liver damage. It can be due to alcohol, drugs, toxin or infection. You should go for complete liver function test. Hyperthyroidism can not cause that.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
