Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. Increase in SGOT and SGPT has many other causes apart from alcohol intake and hepatitis like Metabolic disorders, NAFLD, autoimmune etc. So I will suggest you to visit a Hepatologist for evaluation who will advise tests and then manage accordingly. Meanwhile there are few medicines which I found very useful in my patients are ursodeoxycholic acid and vitamin E. Do regular exercise and reduce your weight if you are overweight.I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
