###Human: Why is my SGOT and SGPT raised after chickenpox? ###Assistant: Hello. Persistent elevation of liver enzymes can be due to many different causes. Drugs, viruses, autoimmune and alcohol can cause this picture. I would like to see the reports if possible. Also, I would like to know if you had done hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing. Also, what is the trend of SGOT/SGPT, is it downward or stable? What about alcohol intake? Are you currently on any medication? Varicella (chickenpox) can in some cases cause hepatitis. Though it should have been recovered by now. If the trend is downward, I will not worry. If still persistent, then you will need further investigation.
