What Do SGOT Level Of 27 And SGPT Level Of 68 Indicate?
Question: What is it mean when my s.g.p.t serum is 68 but my SGOT serum is at 27 should I be worried?
Brief Answer:
with normal SGOT,not likely due to significant disease
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
SGPT (also called ALT) is found mainly in the liver and kidney
It is mainly used to assess the liver.
The reference range can vary from one lab to the next but is generally between 20 to 60 .
SGOT (AST) is found mainly in the liver and heart, though it can also be found other places as well.
Your value at 68, is only slightly above the norm.
This fact , along with the fact that the SGOT, is within normal, means that you do not likely have any significant problems with the liver
It is possible that the increase is due to fatty liver disease, which is very common at the moment
Fatty liver refers to the build up of fat in the liver, if it continues it can cause the liver to stop working as it should.
FAtty liver causes the liver enzymes blood tests to increase.
I hope this helps.Feel free to ask any other questions
