Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Your Bilirubin is normal However SGOT is high . SGOT and SGPT are two of the most useful liver enzymes which indicate inflammation or infection of liver, although the SGPT is more liver specific than is SGOT.SGOT is found in the liver, heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys, brain, and red blood cells also, but if there is some inflammation in liver SGPT must be high too.You must consult a gastroenterologist and get yourself examined and if required ultrasonography has to be done.Take care!
