Do Increasing SGPT Values Indicate Liver Damage?
I get my blood tested every 6 months because I take meds for Cholesterol. In Sept 2011 my SGPT was 17. In Feb 2012 it was 23 and then in Aug 2012 it was 47. The doctor didn t test for it in Sept of this year. Should I be concerned about liver damage.

Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
This is still just slightly elevated SGPT and it doesnt indicate serious liver damage. however,you should do frequent lft check ups and liver ultrasound just to prevent some suprises. also,chacnge your dietary habits and avoid alcohol and hepatotoxic drugs.
Wish you good health. Regards
