Hello

Your findings suggests mildly increased SGPT.
Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT )is an enzyme that is normally present in liver and heart cells. SGPT is released into blood when the liver or heart are damaged.

Liver related increased SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile, medicines,auto immune causes etc.
Increased SGOT may be due to many reasons,it is non specific.

You need few other investigations like viral markers,lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen.

SGPT also increases during heart attack.
It need clinical correlation in your case.
You may need to take some medicines after proper evaluation.

Get well soon.
Take Care
