My liver not GOOD !

Me : My liver got problem...
Bird : What problem?
Me : The SGPT or ALT is too high in bloodstream.
Bird : What's that?!

When my medical report came out yesterday, it wasn't look promising.
Beside high cholesterol, they said my liver might not in good condition..

What?! My liver got problem?! My world suddenly turn upside down.




I quickly go and survey what is SGPT/ALT on the net and this is what I found.


Alanine transaminase (ALT) Alanine transaminase (ALT), also called Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT) or Alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) is an enzyme present in hepatocytes (liver cells). When a cell is damaged, it leaks this enzyme into the blood, where it is measured. ALT rises dramatically in acute liver damage, such as viral hepatitis or paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. Elevations are often measured in multiples of the upper limit of normal (ULN). Normal values:5 - 40 IU/L

Elevations of SGPT, an enzyme found within the liver cells, indicate that the liver cells are either leaky (internal contents are entering the blood) or damaged. A wide array of conditions can cause this problem. For example, viral hepatitis or alcohol can cause elevated SGPT. We know that patients can have elevated liver tests as a result of fatty liver, a condition that does not necessarily mean generalized obesity. Usually fatty liver is not a cause for significant liver problems.



And I found that mine just a bit above normal measurement. But I'm still worried. Might go for another details medical checkup. =.="



Starting from now, I need to sleep early and drink more water, avoid alcohol and any seafood...

Healthy Life Ahead !
