What is a good liver level?
My doctor said my liver levels were 'within normal limits' but I always like to understand what that means. What's generally considered a good liver level, so I can keep track myself?

Generally, keeping SGPT and SGOT below 40 U/L is a sign of a healthy liver. If yours is slightly elevated, regular aerobic exercise like 30 minutes of brisk walking or jogging can help lower it. Just check with your doctor before starting any intense routine.
Bro, my SGPT was around 65 last year because of all the weekend junk food. I just stopped drinking beer and skipped deep-fried stuff for a month, and it came back down to 32. Keep it simple and eat clean.
My recent report showed a liver level of 55, and I am so anxious because it is marked in red bold letters. Has anyone else had slightly elevated levels like this and managed to bring it down without major medicines?
Usually, a good liver function report shows bilirubin under 1.2 mg/dL and SGPT/SGOT under 40 U/L. If your numbers are slightly high, it's very common and can often be managed with hydration and a low-fat diet. Don't worry, just get a doctor to review it.
I am trying to understand my first health checkup report. It says my alkaline phosphatase is 115, is this considered a normal and good liver level? I would be very grateful if someone could explain this gently.
