What Causes Elevated SGPT Levels?
Hi, I have gone through ALT (SGPT) Test and my Test result is 74 which is almost double than desired value 41. I take vitamin D 60000 mg tablet weekly but don t take any other medications regularly.sometimes i take combiflam if i get headache. Can this cause any problem or it is due to some other reason. Please help me with this.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
ALT is one of the liver enzymes, it can be elevated for different reasons including:(1) alcohol use
(2)non alcoholic fatty liver disease
(3)infection
(4)trauma
(5)side effect of medication
If the other liver enzymes are normal then it is possible that the increase does not indicate a serious condition and may only need repeating and monitoring at this stage.
If it continues to increase then additional tests would be needed.
I hope this helps
