My tests show abnormal values. Do I have a serious illness?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have not been feeling well for the past few days, so I went to the hospital. After consulting the doctor, he asked me to get some tests done. My creatine is 1.8, SGPT is 57 mg/l, SGOT is 70, and protein is 8.05.
The doctor told me that I have liver and kidney infections. He asked if I drank alcohol, and I said I never drink. So, please look at the reports and tell me what I should do, and please prescribe medicine. I am very scared.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand why you are scared, but your reports do not show severe liver or kidney damage. They show mild abnormalities that can improve with proper care and follow-up. Let me explain everything clearly in simple words. Your creatinine is 1.8, which is mildly high.
This can happen from dehydration, recent illness, fever, vomiting, loose stools, some medicines like painkillers, or even temporary kidney stress. It does not always mean permanent kidney damage.
Your liver enzymes SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) 57 and SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) 70 are only mildly elevated, which usually points toward a minor liver irritation, often due to a viral infection, fatty liver, or some medicines.
Your total protein is 8.05, which is slightly high but not dangerous and may simply reflect mild dehydration or inflammation.
These values do not suggest a serious kidney or liver infection. They suggest mild to moderate inflammation or stress that often settles with rest, hydration, and simple medicines.
Please do not panic. For now, you should drink plenty of water, avoid all painkillers like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac, avoid alcohol completely, eat light food, and rest well.
You can take tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before breakfast for stomach protection and tablet Silymarin 140 mg twice daily for liver support for seven days.
If you have a fever or body pain, you can take only Paracetamol. Please repeat your LFT (liver function test) and kidney tests after one week. If creatinine is still high, then the doctor might check your urine, blood pressure, and kidney ultrasound.
These abnormalities are not life-threatening, and your numbers are not extremely high. With the right care, they usually improve. Please do not stress and follow up calmly.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
