Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have seen through your query, and your values seems to be absolutely normal.

The normal ranges of SGPT is from 7-56U and SGOT is from 5-40U. With respect to this, yours falls withing the normal range.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to discuss further,

Brief Answer:
Explained below...

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for writing back,

SGPT and SGOT are enzymes secreted by the liver in normal levels. In presence of certain drugs, alcohol, jaundice and other conditions affecting the liver, the enzymes will be secreted in excess.

Low liver enzymes are indicative of a healthy liver functioning. I would not be concerned by your levels, but I would suggest you to do a PT, INR, albumin and bilirubin levels and if found to be in normal range, you can be rest assured there is no underlying problems.

Also I would suggest it best for you to avoid drinking.

Hope I have answered to your query,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close and give your feedback.
