Hello.  I am a 41 yo male.  62. 227 lbs.  I just had blood work.  Everything back normal except sgot was 79.   I have just started exercising harder and eating less.  I am worried.   Should I be concerned?  Lipids,  etch. All other liver measurements were normal.  Cardiac work up was just normal.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Not to worry. GOT is only mildly raised.2. Alone it does not have any significance. As all your other values are normal, not to worry. It might be increased due to exercise. It's not specific to liver and also found in skeletal muscle and heart.3. As cardiac workup is also normal, it is secondary to exercises. More skeletal muscle, GOT can be more. Not to worry. Continue nutritious diet and exercise moderately. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
