Hello

Your friend's finding suggests raised SGPT and SGOT level.
Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,fatty liver,auto immune causes etc.
Increased SGOT and SGPT may be related to alcohol intake in your friend's case.
SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.

Your friend may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.
Ia suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
He should go for brisk walk and do exercise.
It is good that he don't drink or smoke.
He may need few more medicines after full investigation.

Get well soon.
Take Care
