Are Vitamin D deficiency and SGPT values interrelated?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi there,

I am 27 years old male. I got my regular full-body checkup done yesterday. In the reports, my SGPT is 52.52 (higher than normal), and bilirubin (indirect) is 1.01 (higher than normal). Is there a sign of worry? A couple of months ago, I got a vitamin D test done and it came out to be 4.9 ng/ml (extreme deficiency) since then I have been taking vitamin D supplements.

In yesterday's report, vitamin D came out to be 61 ng/ml. Is this normal? Is there any relation between vitamin D and SGPT?

Can you help me out with this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Although the two parameters are only slightly abnormal, I can fully understand your worries. With a body height of 6.17 feet and a body weight of 196.21 Ibs it is unlikely that a metabolic syndrome with a fatty liver would be the explanation, although sometimes we see these symptoms also in patients with a perfectly normal BMI. So a high-quality sonography of your liver should be done.

It is also important to rule out hepatitis B, C, and E. Another aspect you should try to remember is whether you took Tylenol (Paracetamol/Acetaminophen) before the blood test. This medication is highly liver-toxic. If that is the case, stop it immediately, wait five days, and repeat the test. Nevertheless, at least a sonography of your liver and abdomen should be done. And no, it has nothing to do with your vitamin D issue. I wish you well. Do not worry too much. Sonography of the liver and abdomen.

Repeating all liver function tests.

Warm regards.
