Your SGPT (ALT) 131 and SGOT (AST) 65 are elevated (approximately 2–3 times the upper limit of normal). This indicates mild to moderate transaminitis and requires evaluation, but it is not an emergency if you are asymptomatic. Since you are on TLD for 8 years,medication-related liver enzyme elevation is possible, but after long-term stable therapy, other causes must also be ruled out. Common causes to consider: Drug-induced liver injury Fatty liver disease (very common at this age) Hepatitis B or C co-infection Alcohol intake Important: Do not stop ART on your own.
Next Steps
Recommended evaluation: Repeat LFT after 2–3 weeks Hepatitis B surface antigen, Anti-HCV Ultrasound abdomen (to look for fatty liver) Bilirubin, ALP, INR (to assess severity)

Your SGPT (131) and SGOT (65) are elevated. SGPT is about 3–4 times normal, so it is moderately high. Possible causes: • ART medicines (TLD can sometimes affect liver) • Fatty liver • Alcohol intake • Viral hepatitis (B or C) • Other medicines or supplements What to do: • Do not stop ART on your own • Repeat LFT after 2–4 weeks • Check Hepatitis B & C status if not done • Avoid alcohol and unnecessary medicines • Do ultrasound abdomen If values keep increasing or you have jaundice, vomiting, or severe weakness, see your doctor urgently. Based on your symptoms, this may require proper clinical assessment and prescription. You may book an online consultation with me for detailed evaluation and personalised treatment plan.

Your values: • Serum GPT (ALT) = 131 • Serum GOT (AST) = 65 Normal range (lab dependent, approx): • ALT: up to ~40 • AST: up to ~40 So yes — ALT is about 3× upper limit, AST mildly elevated. This is a moderate liver enzyme elevation, not an emergency, but not normal either. You are on TLD (Tenofovir + Lamivudine + Dolutegravir) for 8 years. Possible causes: 1️⃣ ART-related liver enzyme elevation (can occur, though less common after long stable use) 2️⃣ Fatty liver (very common) 3️⃣ Alcohol intake 4️⃣ Viral hepatitis (HBV, HCV) 5️⃣ Recent infection 6️⃣ Gym supplements / herbal meds 7️⃣ Muscle injury (AST can rise with muscle strain) Important: If bilirubin is normal and you have no jaundice, it is usually not acute liver failure.
Next Steps
You should get: ✔ Repeat LFT after 2–4 weeks ✔ Bilirubin ✔ ALP ✔ GGT ✔ Hepatitis B & C screening ✔ Ultrasound abdomen Also review: ✔ Alcohol intake ✔ Any new medicines ✔ Gym supplements Do NOT stop ART on your own. Stopping ART suddenly is dangerous. Seek urgent care if: • Yellow eyes • Dark urine • Severe weakness • Persistent vomiting
Health Tips
✔ Avoid alcohol completely ✔ Avoid unnecessary painkillers ✔ Avoid protein powders / herbal liver tonics ✔ Maintain healthy weight ✔ Stay hydrated Many mild–moderate liver enzyme elevations in ART patients are reversible once cause is identified. If you share: • Your weight • Alcohol history • Bilirubin value • Any abdominal pain I can help narrow down the most likely cause. Given your long-term ART use, booking an online consultation would help interpret your full liver panel properly and ensure your HIV treatment remains safe and uninterrupted.

Serum GPT (ALT) 131 and Serum GOT (AST) 65 are elevated above normal limits. ALT is approximately 3 times the upper normal limit, indicating mild to moderate liver inflammation. This can be due to several causes such as antiretroviral therapy (TLD), fatty liver, alcohol intake, viral hepatitis (HBV/HCV), or other medications. Since you are on ART for 8 years, drug-related liver enzyme elevation is possible but needs proper evaluation before making any changes. It is not dangerously high at present but should not be ignored.
Next Steps
1. Do not stop ART (TLD) on your own. 2. Repeat liver function test (LFT) after 2–3 weeks. 3. Check complete liver profile including bilirubin, ALP, and GGT. 4. Screen for Hepatitis B and C if not done recently. 5. Ultrasound abdomen to rule out fatty liver. 6. Consult your treating physician for evaluation and monitoring.
Health Tips
• Avoid alcohol completely. • Avoid self-medication and herbal supplements. • Maintain healthy diet and weight. • Seek urgent medical attention if you develop yellowing of eyes/skin, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or dark urine.
