How To Control SGPT Levels?

Hi, My husband had been diagnosed with an elevated count of bilirubin i.e. 2.07. His SGPT level also increased to 100. Doctor advised him bed rest and home made diet. I have controlled his diet and he is taking rest. A month after, we have again conducted blood tests and now the report shows his bilirubin count to be normal. But there has been an increase in his SGPT level. It has shot up to 131. I cant understand what to do. Please advise.

Hello

Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
It may be related to hepatitis in your husband's case as bilirubin level is also raised.
You should allow some time for SGPT to become normal.

He may need few more investigations like viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.

I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

Get well soon.
Take Care
