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).
Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further.

What Causes The Sudden Elevation Of SGOT And SGPT?
Hi. Thanks for posting query at HCM. 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). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. viral hepatitis ( HAV,HBV,HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Typhoid fever may also affect liver and cause high liver enzymes. be sure that HBV and HCV have been ruled out. advice : - abstinence from Alcohol - reduce weight if overweight/obese - recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 months and/or ultrasound. any further questions are welcomed. hope to answer your concern. wish you good health. regards, Dr Tayyab Malik
