[|Human|] Hi..I recently had bloodwork done and had a SGPT level of 125. The week before my blood test, I did take some steroid pills and OTC Advil Sinus due to a sinus issue for about a week before I did the blood test. I am 5 10 220lb and doctor has already advised me to exercise and change my diet which I am doing due to weight gain , yet I also drink alcohol occasionally...mostly on the weekends, and sometimes I drink a lot on weekends. The nurse called me with my results and told me not to be overly alarmed because it could be due to meds or a virus and to reduce my alcohol consumption. I guess what I am wondering, how bad is a level of 125, could the steroids and OTC Sinus medicines have caused a spike and how concerned should I be as far as any liver damage may be concerned.
[|AI|]  The level of 125 is high, but you have many reasons to have this level. Alcohol intake, weight gain and yes Chat Doctor.  I would advise you to quit alcohol, lose weight and avoid steroids. Have the liver functions rechecked after 4-6 months. You must also get an ultrasound done and viral markers(hep B and Hep C) done.  You need not be alarmed with the value, but this value does suggest an ongoing liver inflammation so if care is taken early we can avoid father damage to the liver.
