Hello and thank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have read your report and I understand your concerns. The range of SGPT(ALT) is 7 to 56 units depending on from the kit that different laboratories use. Yours is 74.1,it is slightly elevated. There are a few factors, why a healthy patient has slightly elevated SGPT:-very strenuous exercise or severe injury to a muscle.-medicines, such as statins, antibiotics, aspirin, paracetamol ect-alcohol CTIF I was your caring doctor, i would not prescribe any medication for that slightly elevated SGPT, so don't worry. You need to understand that to get the SGPT back to normal, you need a few months, probably 1 to 3 months away from alcohol. Also, here are some advice about your diet, to help your liver recover quickly:-Minimize your alcohol consumption. -Have plenty of liquids, especially water-Fresh vegetables and fruits-Fish, Grains. Nuts, Olive oily need to do another blood test after 1 month and a half to check the levels of your Septic you have any other question, feel free to contact me.  Chat Doctor.
