How To Control The SGPT -77 And SGOT - 40 Levels ?

One of my close friend recently tested his blood. His SGPT (ALT) reads 77 and SGOT 40. Certainly they are above the desired levels. What precautions should he start to take now. He is a regular drinker 90-100 ml, he keeps this habit in order to get good sleep. Are his SGPT and SGOT levels too alarming / too high that he should immediately stop alchohol. Or can he control it using some medicines to reduce the level?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.
Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
In your friend's case,increased SGPT is due to alcohol intake.

He need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),Lipid profile,GGT level,viral markers,complete liver function test,urine RE/ME.

He should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely.

Medicines should be prescribed after complete investigations.
I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily after food for three months.This help in regeneration of liver cells.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
