Hello,
a risen SGPT level is not enough for a full assessment of your health status. SGPT can be elevated in many diseases. It could be serious ones like
hepatitis and cancer or less serious like
fatty liver.
Other liver function tests would be helpful like
SGOT, ALP and gamma-GT. A complete medical history is very important as well. Did you do an
ultrasound of the abdomen?
- have you ever had hepatitis?
- do you take any drugs?
- any chronic medical condition?
- any symptoms? Pain? Nausea? etc
- Have you ever had a blood transfusion?
- do you use illicit drugs?
- did you ever have a sexual partner who had hepatitis?
- are you overweight?
These are some basic questions that need answers for a better evaluation of your situation.
A general practitioner or an internist should be able to guide you through the first basic assessment. He can refer you to specialists later if he needs to.
Young people usually have benign conditions. Many people have slightly increased SGPT (less than three times the normal range) because of fatty liver.
Of course I can't suggest a diagnosis based on your SGPT alone.
As I already told you, your doctor should guide you to the next step.
If you need me to clarify anything, please ask!
I hope I've given you some insight on your situation.
If you're satisfied with my answer then please don't forget to send a "thank you".
Kind Regards!
