Teenager. Elavated SGPT And SGOT Levels. Little Elavated Results For Everyone In Family. Urine Analysis Clear. Related To Something In Food Intake?
Hi. We just got our yearly family blood results back yesterday and my 16 year old son's sGPT level is 52 and his sGOT level is 77. He is not overweight, works out every day doesn't smoke or drink either. My sGOT is normal but my sGPT is 43. My husbands sGPT is 58 and sGOT is 39. All our urine analysis are clear. The laboratory director who spoke to my husband thinks that maybe it is something we have all eaten and it has affected my son more. He wants to repeat the blood test in 3 months. I would be grateful for your thoughts on this.

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
this is slight elevation in lft and it shouldnt wory you. It can be found in acute liver damage but many other causes too. Also, it could be temporary gallbaldder stone which passed and caused bile duct obstruction. He should repeat blood tests in several weeks and if this persists he eeds to do liver ulrasound ad check viral markers.
Wish you good health. Regards
