Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
Kindly give complete details of your liver function test.
If you are talking about SGOT/ SGPT values is 14 then it is absolutely normal. According to AASLD (American association of study for liver disease), SGOT/ SGPT normal value for a female is 19. So it appears to be normal and there is no need to worry.
Put your query if you have.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

Hi XXXXXX,
If you are taking statins then there may be risk of derangement of liver function test. Most likely 14 values denotes level of SGOT/ SGPT. This value is normal and you can continue your statin therapy.
