My sgot level is 52, but my sgpt level is normal, 30. I have had kidney disease (minimal change) in he past although Im not currently having a relapse. Also, I am 7 weeks pregnant, although I was not pregnant at the time of the blood test. Is thia reason to be concerned?
Hello and thank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have read you reports, and I understand your concerns.Depending on from the range of the laboratories, or the kits that they use, the normal levels of the got (AST) are 5 to 55 units and for Sept (ALT) 7 to 56. So your levels are normal. Or if by chance the laboratory where you did the blood analyze has the range for got (5-40) than your slightly elevated levels can be due to these reasons:-alcohol-excessive exercise -fatty liver-medications like ibuprofen, Tylenol (paracetamol) ect-your kidney disease might also rise the levels of got. If I was your caring doctor I would tell you to not worry. You need to do another test after 30-60 days to see if the levels of the got are the same, lower or higher. To help your fat to heal, use this advice:-have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables (it helps with your pregnancy too)-avoid fatty foods. High-fat meats include bacon, sausage, bologna, salami and hot dogs-Eggs and cheese should be eaten in moderation-30 minutes of walking each day you have any other question, feel free to ask me.
