[|Human|] Hi Doc! Im a male, 25 years old. I was given the results of our Annual Physical Exam (done last Feb 2013) and found that my SGPT is 157 U/L (a month before that I twisted my left ankle). Our office physician asked me to redo another test from other labs. Got the result today and found that it s 65 U/L. I did not change my diet nor taken any meds before doing another test. Is that normal? I was told that the normal count is 40 U/L. But a drastic drop after a month is a bit shocking to me. I don t have any vices. I have observed that Im currently gaining weight. The office physician now asks me to do a Lipid Profile and HBsAG . Im just getting worried. Is 65 U/L SGPT something to worry about?
