What is a good liver enzyme level?
My brother just had some blood tests, and his liver enzymes were a little high. My family is worried. What's considered a good liver enzyme level, generally speaking?

Beta, the normal liver enzymes like SGPT and SGOT should ideally be below 40 or 50. If they are a little high, drinking warm water with a bit of amla powder in the morning can help. But please remember to take proper doctor's medicine if the numbers are very high.
Normal enzyme levels are usually under 40 U/L for healthy adults. If yours is slightly elevated, like 60 or 70, just cut down on fried food, outside sweets, and heavy painkiller tablets for a few weeks, then test again. It usually comes down easily.
While levels under 40-50 U/L are standard, any persistent elevation above this range must be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Do not ignore elevated liver enzymes as they can be an early sign of fatty liver or infection. Please get a proper diagnosis.
Haan na, normal range toh 40-50 ke andar hi hoti hai. Mere brother ka test report bhi thoda high aaya tha, but simple green vegetables khane se thik ho gaya. Par ek baar doctor ko dikhana hi sabse safe hai, right?
I know how stressful it is when you get your blood reports back and see red high marks on your liver enzymes. I spent nights crying and worrying myself sick over my elevated SGPT. Please take a deep breath, mild elevations are very common and highly manageable.
My father always recommended consuming buttermilk with a touch of ginger to soothe the digestive system. However, for understanding if your liver enzymes like AST and ALT are normal, we must trust the specific parameters on the lab report and consult our physician.
In our family, we consult doctors at Medanta for any health issues, and they always say that liver reference ranges can vary slightly between labs. Ideally, ALT/SGPT should be under 45. Please show your report clearly to your specialist for proper guidance.
