SGOT at 283 and SGPT at 72
I have done my annual check up and found the SGOT 283 and Sgpt 72. I did some weight training 2 days before the test. Is there something to worry. I have no other parameter beyond the limit.

Your values:
• SGOT (AST): 283
• SGPT (ALT): 72
• Recent weight training 2 days before test
• No other abnormal parameters
This pattern is very important.
Key Interpretation:
• AST (SGOT) is markedly elevated
• ALT (SGPT) is mildly elevated
• AST >> ALT
This pattern often suggests muscle source, not primary liver disease.
Why?
AST is present in:
• Liver
• Skeletal muscle
• Cardiac muscle
After intense weight training, especially:
• Heavy lifting
• Eccentric muscle loading
• New or strenuous workout
AST can rise significantly — sometimes even >300.
ALT is more liver-specific.
Since ALT is only mildly elevated, this favors exercise-induced enzyme rise.
This is common in:
• Gym beginners
• High-intensity sessions
• Muscle soreness phase
Given:
• No symptoms
• No other abnormal LFT parameters
• Recent intense exercise
This is likely transient and benign.
Next Steps
✔ 1. Repeat Test
Avoid:
• Heavy exercise
• Alcohol
• Supplements (especially protein powders or herbal products)
For 5–7 days.
Then repeat:
• AST
• ALT
• CK (Creatine kinase) — important to confirm muscle source
If CK is elevated, that confirms muscle-related rise.
⸻
✔ 2. Seek Evaluation If
• AST/ALT remain elevated
• Bilirubin rises
• You develop jaundice
• Persistent fatigue
• Right upper abdominal pain
⸻
✔ 3. Review Medications/Supplements
Check for:
• Statins
• Herbal products
• Fat burners
• Painkillers
These can affect liver enzymes.
Health Tips
✔ Avoid testing LFT immediately after intense workouts
✔ Hydrate well
✔ Avoid alcohol before tests
✔ Introduce weight training gradually
✔ Check CK along with LFT if exercising regularly
In your case, the AST-dominant elevation strongly suggests muscle-related release rather than liver pathology — but it must be confirmed with repeat testing.
I recommend booking an online consultation so we can review your repeat reports (including CK) and rule out true hepatic involvement confidently rather than leaving this as uncertainty.

Sgot is raised when heavy weight training is done as sgot is also present in muscles.
Avoid heavy training for a week and rest well for the muscle recovery. Get LFT done again in a week.

Your reports show:
• SGOT (AST) = 283 (high)
• SGPT (ALT) = 72 (mildly high)
If you did intense weight training 1–3 days before the test, this is a very common reason for temporary AST elevation, because SGOT is also present in muscle tissue (not only liver). Heavy exercise can increase AST significantly.
The pattern you have (AST much higher than ALT) strongly suggests muscle-related rise rather than liver disease, especially when:
• Other liver parameters are normal
• No symptoms (jaundice, vomiting, abdominal pain)
What you should do:
• Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol for 5–7 days
• Repeat LFT after 1 week
• Check CPK (Creatine Phosphokinase) — confirms muscle source
Most likely this will normalize.
