Medical Forum / General / Laboratory / June 2005SGOT & SGPT ELEVATED
SGOT 69 SGPT 89 The above results where from a recent screening. Both are high, but I'm not sure what it means. I have been on a low carb diet on and off over the last year or so...can this have and affect? Any feedback would be great. thanks > SGOT 69 > SGPT 89 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > over the last year or so...can this have and affect? Any feedback > would be great. thanks 1) Are you weight lifting? 2) Do you drink alcohol? 3) Have you asked your doctor? I've been low carbing for many months and mine are only elevated after a good, heavy weight workout, or if I over-indulge on a weekend off on a few too many margaritas. ;-) It ain't from the low carbing.

Any feedback > would be great. thanks The obvious question I have is why were both of these ordered? You usually only have one on a chemistry panel and both are usually on a hepatic panel. Somebody was specifically looking at the liver for what? > > SGOT 69 > > SGPT 89 [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > You usually only have one on a chemistry panel and both are usually on a > hepatic panel. Somebody was specifically looking at the liver for what? Our routine Comprehensive panel has both of these on it. :-) If he had a liver profile, it should have had GGT as well. I'd be curious to what that was... He never did answer Om's questions! SignatureK.

I would personally question that in terms of a medical necessity panel in which each analyte must be justified and with two transaminases on a general chemistry panel .....but then again When in Rome...... > He never did answer Om's questions! Most never do and we end up having internal discussions. : -) in both places." --Mark Twain > > > > SGOT 69 > > > > SGPT 89 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > which each analyte must be justified and with two transaminases on a general > chemistry panel .....but then again When in Rome...... I think at this point, the content of each named profile (the others are lipid profile, liver profile, renal profile and basic profile) are dictated by Medicare... :-) > > He never did answer Om's questions! > Most never do and we end up having internal discussions. > : -) Ah. Private e-mail. Cheers! SignatureK. Sprout the MungBean to reply "I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell‹you see, I have friends in both places." --Mark Twain |
