[|Human|] I applied, for insurance recently and was denied for out of range results by companies allowances. Having kept records of previous test,(all which have been within range ) as recently as I/2014...my sgot/sgpt levels have gone up. Current readings are sgot146/ sgpt 116. ??? I wish to follow up with someone but have no doctor at this time. Which professional should I seek for comparative testing and evaluation? I moderately drink, work out vigorously 3 days a week, am about to turn 50. Puzzled....
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern. Normal levels of AST and ALT may slightly vary depending on the individual laboratories reference values. Typically, the range for normal AST is reported between 10 and 40 units per liter and ALT between 7 and 56 units per liter. ALT and AST are two of the most reliable markers of hepatocellular injury or necrosis. Their levels can be elevated in a variety of liver disorders. I would suggest you seek consultant with the gastro-hepatologist in your local region. You do not mention any other blood test report like GGT, ALP or Bilirubin level, in order to help me find determine the cause of your elevated transaminase. Hope I was helpful with my answer. Don't hesitate to ask again. Take Care,
