Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If this is 250 for SGOT and SGPT then this is a serious indicator of liver damage. Since SGOT and SGPT are sensitive indicators of liver injury from different types of diseases or conditions, and collectively they are termed liver tests or liver blood tests. Globulins are also produced in the liver. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage and the most common cause is the fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound.

Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake, or autoimmune diseases. To verify the exact cause, USG, bilirubin levels, and tumor markers should be additionally done then appropriate treatment can be started.

I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
