SGOT (AST) SGPT (ALT) HELP?

Question

Any nurses out there or doctors.help?

I have tested for hep last month and the hep panel came back negative and the no antibodies so this month I got blood work run again at a different doctors and my ast and y alt are normal which they were last month also the numbers are ast(17) and the alt(28)

But the way the test is type up confuses me. I m reading this test right

SGOT (AST) 17/UL 5-35

SGPT (ALT) 28/UL 7-56

Answer 1

Looks like your alt and ast levels are normal to me! :O)

Also, you've been tested for hepatitis. I assume they did a hep panel. Since those results didn't find antibodies, your liver seems to be functioning fine.

Answer 2

normal SGOT 5-35  this is the expected range. yours is 17, SGPT 7-56 expected range, yours is 28  I agree it seems confusing if you haven't seen lab values before
