My daughter just got the blood test result, it shows SGOT 527 and SGPT 162. Could this be caused by some virus and will it be corrected by itself without treaatment? If this shows any damage to liver how bad it could be? What are the treatments? She got a hit by tennis ball heavily on stomach just prior to going for blood test, could that cause muscle damage and thus elevated numbers in the test?
Hi there, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Your daughters liver enzyme levels are quite high. The most common cause is viral hepatitis. Hepatitis viruses A, B, E can cause this picture. So tests to rule out these infections should be done. Hepatitis A and E are self limiting and will resolve on its own. But hepatitis B may or may not resolve and may enter a chronic phase. Damaged muscle can also increase these enzymes. But getting hit by a tennis ball may not damage the muscle to such an extent to cause an increase in the enzyme levels to this extent. If still in doubt CPK level may be checked which would also raise if it is due to muscle injury. Is this answer helpful?
