Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 30 years old 5'11", weighs 174 Ibs. I just had my sgpt tested and the result is 52... my creatine is .99... i am concern about my sgpt level...since i dont drink alcohol and i dont smoke.i regularly go to the gym. Drinks protein powder...and often sleep late. That's my lifestyle in summary. Should i be worried about my 52 sgpt?
Thank you for contacting HCM. Do you know about SGOT levels. There 2 different transaminases known to us. SGOT & SGPT. SGOT levels go up in patients who take excessive amounts of alcohol.
coming to your issue. you have mildly elevated SGPT. this is usually not related to alcohol intake. isolated SGPT elevation is seen in some mild genetic disorders and in hepatitis.
do you have any high risk behaviour or high risk profession where there is possibility of needle stick injuries. have you had any blood transfusions.
some times medications like anticholesterol medications can do this.
bottom line is if you do not have any problems as mentioned above. check for hepatitis.
