High ALT level

2018-12-13 16:21:45
I am diagnosed with Subcorneal Pustular Dermatosis in biopsy. Before starting treatment i took blood test and my ALT / SGPT level was normal (14 u/L). Now i was started treatment with Dapsone for last 1 week. Now my ALT / SGPT level is 69 u/L. Why does this increase in ALT/ SGPT takes place. Is this increase a serious problem?
