Q: I came to know after doing my liver function test that I have SGPT level 70, so doctor told me that I have jaundice. If my SGPT level is more than 40 then what are the other possible diseases that I could have other than jaundice?
A:The fact that your SGPT level in the blood is high (slightly above normal) would mean that your liver cells are inflamed. This could be due to a variety of causes and you need to consult a specialist physician to have more tests done to find out the cause of the inflammation and get treated.
