Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your sgpt is high. It is a liver enzyme. Its level increased whenever there is a liver damage. There are many causes like diet, drug, alcohol or some liver disease. You should go for complete liver function test. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
