Suggest Treatment To Reduce The SGPT Level

Dear Doctor I am a male of 28 years of age. My SGPT level last year was 126 and SGOT 55. Thereafter i went on a diet and exercise and reduced them to 80 and 49. Now, I again started drinking occasional beer and hence, my SGPT has risen to 90 but SGPT is 38. I am only taking Liv52 DS. Please advice me on how could I bring it down. Do I need to take any other medicine?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Your SGPT is more than SGOT. This indicates the raise in the enzyme levels may not be due to alcohol intake.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is more likely. An ultrasound scan of the abdomen should be done to confirm fatty liver.
Weight reduction should be done if you are obese. Try to keep you BMI below 25.
Check your blood glucose and cholesterol levels as high levels can cause fatty liver.
I hope that answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
