Hello Dr. My one and half year daughter has been tested for SGPT and the result is 62 Vil.. i dont understand but i searched out that i may be a dangerous liver problem. she is weak and was not eating properly. She had lose motions for few days. She is medicating for lose motion. Mean while she has been tested for this SGPT. Please help, and tell what could be the possible cause and advise me for her better health.
Hello dear user! Thank you and welcome on Chat Doctor !I've gone through your query and understand your concerns!SGPT in your daughter test, is only a little high. It's true that raising of SGPT suggests liver cells damage, but I think you shouldn't be very worried to that. There are several viral conditions that affect child Chat Doctor.  Hepatitis A, is one of the viral conditions that affects almost 98% of people and they don't even know about it, because its symptoms are just like a simple flu, or common cold, associated with diarrhea, vomits, fevers, weakness, lose motions etc. Anyway it is not a serious condition, and it is not contagious. I would recommend you to repeat that analysis after a couple of days after your daughter is recovered from this viral condition to see if the level of SGPT is normalized. Bag, and anti HCV is another analysis to be done to rule out Hepatitis B and C. For now, just maintain a supportive care of your daughter at home. Give her liquids, vitamins and if she has fevers you may use Acetaminophen syrup to keep it under control. If she don't get better for 4-5 days please consult a pediatrician for further examinations. I hope this answer was helpful to you! Please kindly rate it and write a short review about your experience with me! Thank you and best regards!
