What is a high liver enzyme number?

My husband's recent blood test shows a high liver enzyme number. We are a bit worried, so what number would be considered high? What does this usually indicate?

A liver enzyme level (SGPT/SGOT) above 40 U/L is considered high. I suggest visiting a reputed hospital like Fortis to get a proper liver function test. Ask your doctor clearly what might be causing the elevation.

My liver enzymes were around 95 last month, which is high since normal is below 40. I just recovered by strictly cutting out deep-fried food and walking daily as my doctor advised. Get a checkup done, it is very manageable.

I completely understand how terrifying it is to see high numbers on your blood report. Normal limits are usually under 40, so anything above that is flagged as high. Please try not to panic, as a doctor can easily help you guide through this.

Yes, anything crossing 40 U/L is generally high. It is best to avoid alcohol and heavy food until you consult your physician.

Humare doctor babu kehte hain ki liver ki jaanch me agar number 40-50 se upar aaye toh woh tez mana jata hai. Aap seedhe acche doctor se miliye, woh sahi dawai likh denge aur sab theek ho jayega.

Numbers above 40-50 U/L are high. Just like managing my high BP, keeping liver enzymes in check requires lifestyle modifications, less oily food, and routine doctor visits. Don't ignore these reports.

Liver enzyme values (like SGPT and SGOT) above 40 U/L are considered high. This can indicate fatty liver or mild inflammation. Please consult a gastroenterologist for an ultrasound and proper guidance.
