What is considered a high liver enzyme count?

My recent blood test showed my liver enzymes were a bit elevated. The doctor said we'd monitor it, but I'm curious. What level is actually considered a high liver enzyme count?

I was reading about LFT reports recently because my dad got his bloodwork done. It seems normal SGOT and SGPT levels are usually under 40 or 50. If they are in the hundreds or thousands, that is considered quite high and definitely needs a doctor's look.

Look, if your SGPT and SGOT are slightly elevated like 60-80, it is usually due to a bad diet or late-night drinks. But anything above 2-3 times the upper limit—like crossing 150—is clinically high. Get an ultrasound done and cut down on fatty foods immediately.

My doctor at Apollo explained that mild elevation of liver enzymes (ALT and AST) is very common with fatty liver, but if the numbers cross 100-200, it indicates active liver inflammation. He advised me to stop any self-medication and get a proper hepatitis panel and lipid profile done.

Bhai, humare yahan ke doctor ne bataya tha ki liver ke point agar 100 se upar chale jayein toh unhe badha hua mante hain. Aap thoda saadha khana khao, tel-masala bilkul band kar do, aur doctor saheb ki dawaai baraktar chalu rakho.

When my reports showed high liver enzymes last year, I immediately consulted a gastroenterologist at Manipal Hospital. High counts can mean anything from simple fatty liver to serious infections, so please don't guess online. Go get a proper consultation with a specialist.
