What could cause a SGPT to test high?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

This can indicate liver damage or presence of hepatitis, damage to the heart, but often medications can cause this level to be high. Alcohol can cause elevated levels as can some nutritional issues. You need to ask your doctor to take the time to clearly explain to you.

There are a few probable causes of this issue. It could be due to an underlying health condition such as hepatitis, liver problems, bile duct problems, congestive heart failure or myopathy. It could be from lots of physical activity also. Everyones ALT levels fluctuate throughout the course of the day.
