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%.
The ideal moisture level for a basement, whether finished or unfinished, is 30 to 50 percent relative humidity. During summertime, outside moisture pours in through basement walls and windows, bumping this figure up to 65 to 70 percent in much of the United States and Canada.
