The doctors have a list of what should be normal for every person but sometimes with age and health problems or just because a persons blood results can vary slightly. A good doctor will do further tests do make sure that everything is going on ok in the body, this is something they do and is part of their job to investigate as to why certain levels are lower or higher than normal. \nPlease dont worry too much, looks like the doctor is on it.\ngood luck.

if you are on the heavier side....meaning you have some extra weight on you than a high SGPT is normal.....the enzyme your body produces will be higher if you have some extra weight. \n\nYou should check out the articles on WEBMD.COM but I would not worry.....45-47 does not seem that high.

Answer depends on: 1.What is the reason for the urine testing? 2.What medication you are taking? 3.What was the appointment for?

Bowel irritability and kidney problems can arise from blood in urine.  Go back to your doctor and ask for a battery of tests.  Better safe than sorry.

My husband was told by his nephrologist that because of the high protein in his urine that a renal biopsy was the only way they could tell if he has IGA Nephropathy.This has not been done yet, because of lack of proper health insurance. His doctor is keeping him on high doses of blood pressure medicine and another med. Monitoring if the protein stabilizes or goes higher.

I've heard that too many vitamins can cause this to happen.  But you should contact a dr or pr.

From MayoClinic.com:\n\n"Elevated blood levels of urea and creatinine are likely evidence of decreased kidney function. Urea and creatinine are waste products that your kidneys normally filter from your blood. If your kidneys aren't working properly, these substances build up in your body. Blood tests that evaluate kidney function are used to measure urea and creatinine."

Have you been taking multivitamins? I've noticed that if you take certain vitamins, it affects the brightness of the urine. But its just a theory. Usually the more water you drink the clearer the urine you pass is.

A normal SGOT level in 8-20 u/L, so yes it is a bit high.  Possible causes might include liver disease, a heart attack, muscle trauma, pancreatitis, OD on narcotics, brain damage, kidney failure, or recent surgery or a cardiac catheterization.

Dear Worried About Protein In Urine,\n\nYou didn?t ask too many questions, besides you wouldn?t ask if it wasn?t important. If you looked at TeenHealthFX?s response to Low level Of Protein In Urine you?d realize that low levels of protein in the urine is not uncommon and need not be cause for alarm. Your doctor may even have explained this to you and would have ordered additional tests if he/she was concerned. Since this situation seems to being giving you a great deal of worry maybe you should go back to your pediatrician or primary care physician and ask the questions that are bothering you. You may want to get your parents involved, they most likely would be glad to provide you with emotional support and guidance if you need it. If you are still worried, ask your doctor to refer you to a nephrologist, which is a doctor who specializes in this disorder. Before going, make a list of your concerns and ask the questions during the exam. The more information you have the less you?ll worry.\n\nProteinuria (protein in the urine) may be a sign of important kidney disease in some people. However, sometimes the proteinuria is associated with a viral infection and resolves within a few weeks (transient proteinuria). This is generally speaking not a problem. In otherwise well teenagers, we often find that the proteinuria is "postural". That means the proteinuria disappear after a period of lying flat. This is also not associated with serious kidney disease. The urine should be checked again first thing in the morning, just upon awakening. If protein is detected, further investigations should be performed.\n\nAnother cause of an elevated protein level can come from a diet that has an abnormally high amount of protein. The most common culprit would be the protein supplements some athletes take in order to build strength. TeenHealthFX cautions against the use of these products because a large quantity of protein can overwhelm the kidneys. Besides, you can get all the protein you need from a well balanced diet without the risk.\n\nIf you would like to meet with a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center For Health at 973.889.6350 for an appointment.\n\nSigned: TeenHealthFX

If you are getting up too often you should mention this to your doctor and she/he may suggest urine and blood workups. Sometimes this is a symptom of an illness such as diabetes.

The test you had would have been a fasting blood sugar level.  It does not come back as a positive or negative, but as a number indicating the level of sugar in your blood at the time.  You could always have the test repeated if you are worried, but I would discuss the result with the doctor first and see if your results were on the borderline of being high.  Most of your symptoms could be related to other things.  Is your diet healthy?  You could be very thirsty because your diet is high in sugar or salt, drinking more will lead to urinating more.  Maybe you are excessively hungry because your diet is not containing the right foods - do you eat a lot of refined carbohydrates like white bread, cakes, biscuits, sugar, if so you may need to change to whole grain and low GI carbohydrates which will make you feel more full.  Protein will also help.  You could be tired due to a poor diet as well.  And the irritability could be related to your diet or lifestyle.  Do you exercise enough?  You may need to have your eyes checked to make sure you don't need glasses.   I am only speculating here, but if you fit the description you may just need to look at your lifestyle and change a few things to feel 100% better.  Good luck!!

yeah, if i remember right (its been awhile sorry if im wrong) its usually a sign of a liver problem (often steatosis/"fatty liver", cirrhosis, cancer, etc.) but can be from bone problems too. also, some drugs can alter ALP levels and if that's why yours is elevated then its probably not anything to worry about. its actually called "alkaline phosphatase" or "ALP" if you were having trouble finding stuff about it in searches. it can mean a lot of different things so youd have to discuss it with your doctor as to what the problem is and if it is something significant or nothing important.\n\nand in response to the other guy's answer, you probably dont have HIV... that might alter levels but that's not anywhere near the top of the list of likely causes.... a lot of thing can affect ALP.\n\nlike I said, hard to tell if its anything that should concern you or not, youd have to see what your doc thinks about it
