Causes for a high SGOT level can include infection, viral hepatitis, mononucleosis, gallbladder disease, the presence of toxins from drugs or alcohol and cancer. It may also indicate muscle damage from a fall or injury, or a muscle disease such as polymyositis or muscular dystrophy.
Basements or crawl spaces. Basements are often overridden with moisture. There is often a substantial amount of moisture coming through the concrete. Some houses can have up to 100 pints of humidity that needs to be removed per day, most of it coming through the basement in some cases. For a basement, it is recommended to keep moisture at least under 65% although the optimal room humidity would be between 40%-50%.
Use the unit fan and portable fans to draw in cooler outside air and increase circulation. Although air conditioners also dehumidify, a dehumidifier in the basement can prevent excess moisture seepage through the house. Use a higher (warmer) thermostat setting during peak periods or when the area is unoccupied. A setting of 75 to 80 degrees will cut power consumption by 15 percent.
