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%.
To maintain the correct humidity level in a basement, place a dehumidifier in the basement, and connect it to the existing main stack, feeder drain or utility sink. If the dehumidifier doesn't measure the level of humidity automatically, place a hygrometer next to it. You can also turn on the exhaust fan when somebody is showering or venting the clothes. The ideal moisture level for a basement ranges from 30 to 50 percent relative humidity.
