The SGPT and SGOT levels are enzymes of liver function that are tested in the blood. It is possible that some chemotherapy regimens can cause these to increase. Many things can cause elevations of these levels. It is very important that if you are taking any herbal or alternative treatments that you discuss these with your doctor as these can also elevate liver enzyme levels. It is also important that you keep track of all over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol and let your doctor know how much you are taking.
It is difficult to answer not knowing your situation or type of cancer, but I think it is also very important to talk to your doctor about whether your cancer could be growing in your liver and causing the increases of these values.

Elevated levels of SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) in the blood can be a sign of liver damage or injury, which may be caused by conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or alcohol abuse. It is important to identify the underlying cause of the increase through further testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider.
Pyruvate reacts with dinitrophenylhydrazine in the presence of the enzyme SGOT to form a yellow/orange precipitate. This reaction is used in laboratory tests to measure SGOT activity levels, as the formation of the precipitate indicates the presence of pyruvate as a substrate for SGOT.
Transaminases (SGTP) & (SGOT): These are enzymes that are primarily found in the liver. Drinking too much alcohol, certain drugs, liver disease and bile duct disease can cause high levels in the blood. Hepatitis is another problem that can raise these levels. Low levels of GGTP may indicate a magnesium deficiency. Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
Elevated levels of SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) in the blood can indicate liver damage or injury, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease. Other causes include alcohol consumption, certain medications, or muscle injury. Further testing is needed to determine the underlying cause.
my sgot is 118 sgpt is 209 and alkalin phosphate is 138. Please help me to reduce my sgpt n sgot.
SGOT normal value is 15-37.
Both SGOT (aspartate aminotransferase) and SGPT (alanine aminotransferase) are enzymes found in the liver. They are used as markers to assess liver function and detect liver damage. SGOT is also found in the heart and other organs, while SGPT is more specific to the liver. Generally, elevated levels of these enzymes in the blood indicate liver damage or disease.
Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
In Tagalog, "sgot" does not have a specific meaning as it is not a commonly used word in the language. It may be a typo or a misspelling of another word.
The high SGOT and SGPT are usually as a result of either a sick liver or heart.
SGOT= Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase. SGPT= Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase.
