i hav already shown to doctor and he on medication but i want to know about SGPT/ALT values.what does they indicate?
You should have your son seen by a doctor familiar with liver disease as soon as possible - a hepatologist or gastroenterologist. His direct bilirubin is significantly elevated as is his ALT. Both are specific liver markers and his numbers are highly suggestive of a liver problem. This could be due to a number of things but in the meantime I don't think I would use any Tylenol as there can be a toxicity associated with its use. Mike
