Dr.Zakhia- My SGOT was 18 and SGPT 11 before the medication (3 Months ago). SGPT is now 46 and SGOT was not requested. What are Fibrates? THX

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
It would be a good idea to measure the SGOT level at this point and follow up on both levels after a couple of months. Fibrates are a class of medications that help lower the blood cholesterol. So in case you can no longer tolerate the current dose of statins (your liver enzyme levels continue to climb up), then your treating physician can reduce the dose of statins and add fibrates to your treatment regimen.
