What Causes Elevated Results Of SGOT, SGPT And Bilirubin?

I have very high levels of SGOT, SGPT,and BILIRUBIN. My SGOT levels are at 202 as opposed to 38, my SGPT is at 218 as opposed to 31, and 2.8 as opposed to 1.5 for BILIRUBIN. I got my blood tests done but my doctor said they would need to conduct more tests to see what the problem actually is. Can you please give some general things or diseases it might be? or ways I can decrease my high levels?

Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
Incomplete data like age, gender, what symptoms do you have and the duration of those symptoms if any...
The result of liver function tests shown above is highly suggestive of inflammation of liver (hepatitis). Hepatitis is caused by viral infections like Hepatitis A, B, C, etc. which needs to be confirmed by suitable serological test. Other conditions where these abnormal tests are observed include cirrhosis of liver, obstructive jaundice, etc.
So, additional tests that may be required are Alkaline phosphatase, Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, abdominal ultrasound, etc.

So, as per the advice of your doctor get the additional lab tests to come to a conclusion.
Meanwhile avoid taking alcohol, drugs like Paracetamol, sleeping pills, eat fresh fruits, avoid fatty meals.

Wishing you a speedy recovery from the present illness.
Take care.
