I'm looking at my lab report and it's showing my SGPT level is at 136, while the normal range is between 21 and 72. My SGOT level is at 69, but the normal range should be between 17 and 59. Should I be worried about this? Also, what would be the treatment for these levels?

Elevated SGPT and SGOT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To address this, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin to support liver function. It is important to avoid alcohol and fatty foods, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help improve your liver health. Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to monitor your progress.
