SGOT & SGPT levels

English Tech/Engineering Computers (general)
My wife (40y)had undergone a comprehensive medical check-up at a repuited hopital in Colombo last week 20 Feb 2009, and came across that her SGOT & SGPT levels are 32 (acceptable range is 0-40)

Even though she is in the normal range but closer to upper limit.Pls explain. Does she need medicine?

Non-PRO (1): Siegfried Armbruster

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Although I have provided my answer for this question, I 100% agree with Rahi.
Rahi Moosavi Feb 27, 2009:
Do you need medical advice? I don't think Proz will be the right place for that
Yasutomo Kanazawa Feb 27, 2009:
I'm afraid the above phrase has nothing to do with Computers. It's about medical check-up.
