What is considered high liver enzyme levels?
My brother just got some blood test results back, and his liver enzymes are elevated. What are the specific levels that are considered high liver enzyme levels? We are a bit worried.

Usually, if your SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) cross the normal range of around 40-50 U/L, doctors consider it elevated. I had slightly high levels due to heavy protein shakes and intense weightlifting, but cleaning up my diet and taking a break from supplements brought it back to normal. Definitely get a doctor to review your reports.
According to standard laboratory ranges, ALT above 45 U/L and AST above 40 U/L are elevated. My physician explained that mild elevation (below 100) is often due to a fatty liver, but if it goes into the hundreds or thousands, it indicates acute liver injury. A proper diagnosis from a gastroenterologist is essential.
I can only share what happened with me. My SGPT had touched 110 last year during my routine checkup. My doctor made me stop all outside food, advised daily walking for 30 minutes, and my levels came down to 35 in two months.
Hello, my doctor recently said my ALT level is 65 and it is slightly high. I am a bit scared because I don't drink alcohol at all. Is this range considered very dangerous, or can it be cured easily with lifestyle changes?
Bro, don't stress too much! High liver enzymes usually mean your SGOT/SGPT are above 45. It's super common nowadays due to junk food and lack of sleep. Just talk to your doctor, cut down on oily stuff for a bit, and you'll be totally fine.

Yes, anything above 40 or 50 U/L on your LFT report is generally flagged as high. Getting an ultrasound of the abdomen is usually the next step to check for fatty liver.
