my uncle is on his 4th day of having and on and off fever. he also has cough and colds for a week now. and during the laboratory tests done, there was an increase in his SGPT, twice the normal. I just would like to know if what causes its increase... or what diagnosis is possible with his condition... thank you really for helping me with this. God bless
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor SGPT is a liver enzyme, if it is increased on its own and all the other liver enzymes on the test are normal, it is not likely that he has any liver disease It can also be found in other areas such as the heart or a side effect of medication. His medication list can be reviewed to see if any could possibly contribute to this problem. He may need to consider a repeat when he is well. I hope this helps
