Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Liver enzyme elevations are common in dengue. Usually the SGOT levels are more than SGPT levels probably due to skeletal muscle injury.
But please consult your doctor to know the other causes for elevated liver enzymes like drugs, alcohol, hepatitis infection, dengue, malaria, leptospirosis, fatty liver disease etc...
