Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Your SGPT and SGOT gives information about your liver health. Since you are on methotrexate, it is important to monitor your liver status. You have not mentioned your previous values and your laboratory reference values. If your SGOT and SGPT rises to 3 times your baseline value, it could indicate liver damage which will warrant stopping methotrexate. Some doctors also do a liver biopsy if your total dosage of methotrexate over years exceeds 2.5 grams.
Hope this answers your doubt.
Take care.
