mr rohit ...as you can see from lab reports that sgpt and sgot are mildly raised above normal limits ..had it been two times above level then it would have been thing to worry
please see that majority of drugs and non liver diaseses also raise sgpt sgot
i suppose the level of bilirubin ..serum albumin ..serum proteins must have been in normal range
so please discuss with doctor her medicines may be behind these mild increases
and there is no need to treat these mild increases
..
if you have any further query you can contact us on this site ..i will help you
