Brief Answer:
Lab values are normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.
Thanks for posting query at HCM.

I went through you lab results attached to your query.
All lab values from liver enzymes to serum electrolytes are "Normal". There is nothing to worry.
Though ALT is slightly high but its considered normal. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal ( in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal).
So you need not worry.

SGPT value 48 is considered normal in many countries.
Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further.
moreover, in your blood results, all other liver enzymes and lab values came out normal.

Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease.

advice for fatty liver:
- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages
- decreased oil consumption (oily food)
- NO red meat
- green vegetables should be ingested daily
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- reduce weight if overweight/obese
-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound.
any further questions are welcomed.

hope to answer your concern.

wish you good health.

regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
