Hi welcome to HMC. thank you for posting your query. SGPT AND SGOT levels can be brought down by lifestyle changes and regular physical activity .SGPT AND SGOT is the most sensitive indicator of liver cell injury. elevated levels occur in fatty liver, hepatitis, liver cancer,cirrhosis.liver problems can also cause kidney problems, heart problems, strokes.
i advise you to avoid alcohol completely and quit from smoking, have a healthy and balanced diet. avoid fatty foods. go for regular increased physical activities, if you have diabetes keep the blood sugar levels under control. get regular check ups from your doctor.
