Hello

Increased SGPT indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
It may be related to past beer intake in your case.

SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.

It is good that you are not taking beer completely.

You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.

I also suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.


Get well soon.
Take Care
