Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.
Increased SGPT may be due to hepatitis,altered lipid profile,autoimmune causes,medicines etc.

You need clinical examination and few other investigations.
You need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),complete lipid profile,Liver function test,viral markers,urine RE/ME.

You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely if you take it.

Medicines should be prescribed after complete investigations.
I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily after food for three months.This help in regeneration of liver cells.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
