Dear Mohit,

Your Liver Function Test (LFT) results show SGOT (AST) = 81 and SGPT (ALT) = 73, which are slightly elevated. While these levels are higher than normal (typically SGOT <40 and SGPT <45), they are not critically alarming but do indicate some liver stress.

🔍 Possible Causes of Elevated SGOT & SGPT

  • Fatty Liver Disease (common in alcohol use, obesity, or diabetes)
  • Viral Infections (Hepatitis A, B, C, or recent viral fever) Alcohol Consumption (excessive drinking damages liver cells)
  • Medications or Supplements (painkillers, antibiotics, or herbal supplements)
  • Liver Inflammation (Hepatitis) or Liver Damage

Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations for Liver Health

  • Increase: Fruits & Vegetables – Papaya, apple, berries, beets, carrots
  • Whole grains – Brown rice, oats, quinoa
  • Healthy fats – Nuts, seeds, olive oil
  • Lean protein – Fish, chicken, eggs, tofu
  • Hydration – Drink plenty of water and fresh coconut water

Avoid

  • Alcohol & Smoking – These worsen liver health
  • Fried & Processed Foods – High in trans fats and preservatives
  • Sugary & Refined Foods – Avoid sweets, bakery items, soft drinks
  • Excess Salt & Red Meat – Can strain the liver

Is It Alarming? When to Worry?

If SGOT & SGPT continue to rise, further liver ultrasound and tests (Hepatitis B, C, lipid profile) may be needed.

If you experience jaundice (yellow skin/eyes), fatigue, nausea, or abdominal pain, consult a gastroenterologist immediately.

Repeat the LFT in 4–6 weeks after following a liver-friendly diet.

Stay healthy!
