[|Human|] My husband went to the Dr. today and found out that his ALT (SGPT) Was 132 and his Alt (SGOT) was 188. He is an alcoholic and has been drinking more liquor than beer lately. What does this mean? I think he is in worse shape than he thinks and I am worried.
[|AI|]  HelloYour husband findings suggests increased SGPT and GOT level. Increased SGPT indicates liver injury, and it may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. Increased SGPT in his case may be due to alcohol intake. Increased GOT is non-specific, and it increases in many conditions. He needs few other investigations like viral markers, lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen. He may need to take some medicines after proper evaluation. I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. He should avoid alcohol completely. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
