What is a high liver enzyme level?

I just got my lab results back and saw that my liver enzyme levels are high. What is considered a 'high' liver enzyme level, and what should I do about it?

Liver enzymes like SGPT/SGOT above 50 are high. If you need to do regular liver function tests (LFT), check for packages online as they offer good discounts, rather than paying full price at big hospitals every time.

My SGPT hit 110 last year due to bad eating habits. Normally, anything above 40-50 U/L is considered high. I just cut down on junk food, stopped drinking alcohol, and it came back to normal in a month. Definitely get a doctor's advice though.

Elevated liver enzymes (above 40 U/L) require proper medical investigation. I go to Max Hospital for my checkups. Please ask your gastroenterologist clearly about the root cause instead of trying self-medication.

Please don't worry too much. Levels above 45-50 U/L are generally flagged as high on reports, but it is often reversible with healthy changes. Do consult your doctor for peace of mind.

My liver enzymes were slightly elevated during a routine health checkup. I didn't want to take any chances, so I went straight to my family doctor who advised some dietary changes. It's best to let a professional handle it.

I just recovered from fatty liver where my SGPT was 120 (anything above 40 is high). My doctor put me on a low-fat diet and prescribed some liver-supportive medication. I feel much better now, so please get a proper diagnosis.
