Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your SGPT and SGOT levels are quite high and they suggest that something could be wrong with the liver. Problems to the liver can arise due to alcohol abuse, hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection and drugs.
I would suggest that you get the following tests done:
a. HBs antigen
b. Anti HBs antibody(IgG)
c. Anti-HCV antibodies
d. Gamma glutamyl transferase levels
e. Ultrasound of the abdomen

This will help us fix the cause. Further management can proceed accordingly. Till then, please refrain from using alcohol and avoid using any drugs.
Please get back with the reports and we can take it ahead.

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Your SGPT & SGOT level are quite high and they are sign of liver injury.

You may discuss with your treating doctor / gastroenterologist for some investigations and proper management.

Best wishes.
