Background Patients with fatty liver disease have an increased prevalence of high SGOT &SGPT. The study was designed to study the level of SGOT&SGPT in different age group for the analysis of Fatty liver disease. Method A total 120 patients were subjected for biochemical examination. About 5ml of whole blood was collected from each subject for biochemical analysis. This is a retrospective study done in biochemistry department of Lourdes Hospital Ernakulam, Kerala during one month period. Result SGOT &SGPT levels increases with increase in age and the highest is in the patients above 40years of age. Conclusion In my study I conclude the patients including in the age group of 20-30,the abnormality in AST,ALT levels are 23% and 27% respectively. In the age group 30-40, it has increased to 37% and 40% respectively. In the age group 40-50, the AST,ALT level shows a remarkable increase.It has increased to 67% and 70% respectively. And in the patients above 50 years of age, the AST level is 77% and ALT level is 70%. The study reveals that AST,ALT levels increases with increase in age and highest is in the patients above 40years of age. This indicates that the patients belonging to the age group above 40years are prone to fatty liver disease and thereby to liver damage.
