Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
How high is the SGPT? Values 3 or more times the upper limit are ‘significant’ and need aggressive investigation...
One must be blessed to have high good (HDL) cholesterol...
Still, if the non-HDL (bad) cholesterol is high, one needs care / If already on life style modification, as you say, drug may be needed... / The total cholesterol does not count in such situation....
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
