Hello and welcome to HCM,
High levels of SGPT and uric acid are related to liver functions and kidney functions respectively.
SGPT is a liver enzyme which is elevated in injury to hepatocytes or liver cells.
The level of SGPT is elevated along with SGOT levels.
Uric acid is related to kidney functions, however, its value can be interpreted when correlated with other kidney function tests.
It is not possible to comment on these parameters in isolation and with isolated values.
Thanks and take care
