What are the food habits to be avoided and accepted.  and in how many months he should be testing again for re-check.  How does the level increase it is due to what reasons.  Please reply.  I am concerned.
Hi, thank you for posting. High GOT(serum lunatic oxaloacetate transaminase) level is caused by many causes. If someone has high GOT level, this doesn't mean he/she has liver damage, because the high GOT level causes are different. I think that he needs:1- Abdominal ultrasound, to exclude gall stone.2- Blood test(erythrocytes rate and hemoglobin level). 3- Heart ECG(electrocardiogram), to exclude heart damage. In rare causes high GOT level is caused by muscle injury(that is caused by a disease). He should visit a gastroenterologist to determine the exact diagnosis. Regards.
