Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hiiiiiiiii just 2 days before i went for blood test nd my sgpt( alt ) level is 199 units/ml nd my sgot(ast) level is 73 units/ml nd my doctor prescribed me to tke sylbon 140 is anything serious...?
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your SGPT and SGOT levels are quite high and they suggest that something could be wrong with the liver. Problems to the liver can arise due to alcohol abuse, hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection and drugs.
I would suggest that you get the following tests done:
a. HBs antigen
b. Anti HBs antibody(IgG)
c. Anti-HCV antibodies
d. Gamma glutamyl transferase levels
e. Ultrasound of the abdomen
This will help us fix the cause. Further management can proceed accordingly. Till then, please refrain from using alcohol and avoid using any drugs.
Please get back with the reports and we can take it ahead.
