Hi, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das,
The increased SGOT and SGPT levels indicates that there is a hepatic insult that may be due to infection or due to taking the steroid.
Whatever the cause is, avoid rich diet and take LIV 52 daily for a result. And do tests for Hepatitis A , B,C, If all are negative consult with the treating doctor who can stop or modify the steroid dose.
