AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ratio is 2.3
Hi,
In my LFT report, my AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ratio (De Ritis) is 2.3. I’ve been dealing with persistent skin itching for several months. Could this be related to the elevated ratio?
For context, I don’t drink or smoke. I’m a bit concerned and would appreciate your advice on whether this is an issue and how I can bring this ratio back to normal. I have Thyroid.
What's the solution for this?
Additionally, please let me know if there’s anything else I should consider or investigate. Thank you!
