What are normal liver enzyme levels?

My doctor did some blood tests last week and mentioned my liver enzymes were a little off. He said not to worry too much yet, but I'm curious what the normal range is for these enzymes.

Usually, SGOT and SGPT should be under 40-45 units per liter. If yours are higher, please don't ignore it. It is always safest to get an ultrasound or consult a gastroenterologist to rule out fatty liver.

I got my SGPT done and it was 48, which is slightly above the typical limit of 40. I panicked so much, but my doctor said minor elevations can happen even from basic lack of sleep. Try not to stress, just eat light food.

My SGPT went up to 150 last year due to medication side effects, which caused severe fatigue. Normal levels should be below 40. Please see a proper doctor immediately instead of trying to self-treat.

In our days, we kept these enzymes in check by eating simple, home-cooked food. Normal is usually below 40. You can drink warm water with a little lemon in the morning, but make sure to consult a doctor if the reports are quite high.

I was researching this yesterday and saw that SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are normally between 5 to 40 U/L. It's quite fascinating how even a small change in these enzymes can show how our liver is doing.

Normal ranges are generally 7 to 56 for ALT and 8 to 45 for AST. At the hospital where I get my health packages done, they emphasize that these ranges depend on lab machines. You should definitely get a clear explanation from your doctor.
