What Does Liver Test Result 140 Indicate?

Hi, I received blood work back that wasn t explained to me very well. I did not have my actual physician for this appointment, it was her assistant and she made me very uncomfortable. All she stated that one of my liver test results was 140. I have no idea what this means.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

Although what the assistant was an incomplete statement , what I feel is that she was referring to one of the liver enzymes either SGOT or SGPT. Raised liver enzymes can be due to gallstone disease , hepatitis , pancreatitis to name a few. It would have been great had I examined you on my own.

I would suggest you to
- not to panic
- Get an ultrasound abdomen done
- Repeat a liver function test including bilirubin , SGOT , SGPT , GGT, P-time
- If you are an alcoholic , stop taking alcohol
- Avoid oily, spicy food.

Do not worry.

With proper treatment , it can be completely cured.

Hope this helps.
