What Causes High Fever And Sudden Rise In The SGPT Level?

Hi sir.My name is vysakh..and am 27 years old..yesterday I met a doctor due to heavy fever and as per my physician i checked all viral disesas like typhoid etc and along with that Sgpt also checked from the lab. then i come to know that the sgpt level, its little bit higher side from the normal range and now its 126. When i discuss with the doctor he said the sudden raise in sgpt might be because of the fever..and am not an alchoholic. So after getting the result from the lab the nurse asking me are you drunkard at that time i was like zero. So please advise me sir what is the sudden raise in this sgpt.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fever releases pyrogens (chemicals) in blood.
These pyrogens can damage liver cells.
So hepatitis is very common infection fever.
Liver cells produce SGPT. So damaged liver cells reflect high SGPT.
Once your fever is subsided, your SGPT will also come to normal.
Till that time, avoid hepatotoxic drugs like painkillers, drink plenty of glucose orally and start Liv 52 syrup for liver protection.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
