Brief Answer:
SGOT mildly increased but not a serious problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. SGPT and SGOT are liver enzymes and its levels are tested in blood to know liver function.

2. The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is from 5 to 40 units per liter and normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is from 7 to 56 units per liter. This can slightly change with laboratories.

3. Your SGPT is normal and SGOT is mildly increased. This is not a serious problem and no treatment is required.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
