Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
SGOT and SGPT are liver enzymes. Their level increase in any kind of liver damage. It may be due to viral infection, drugs, toxin or alcohol. You should go for complete liver function test and ultrasound abdomen. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
