Suggest The Cause For Rise In Cholesterol And SGOT Levels In Normal Female

Hi Doc, I'm 69 years old, female. I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke. Just had a blood chemistry yesterday, my cholesterol level is 260, my SGOT is 45, all other tests are within normal range. What could be the cause of the increase level of cholesterol and SGOT?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

High cholesterol may be due to physical inactivity , improper diet ( high calorie , high cholesterol diet ), genetic predisposition. You need to get full Lipid Profile test done to determine whether you need medications to lower cholesterol or only lifestyle changes is enough .

SGOT of 45 is in the normal range so nothing to worry about .

Start doing aerobic exercise like Brisk Walking , Jogging , Running , Cycling , for 30 minutes minimum .

Avoid Sweets , Carbonated beverages , Non Veg food and eat more of vegetables and fruits .

Revert back with Lipid profile report .

Any doubts or clarification feel free to ask.

Happy to help you.

Regards .
