General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there. I have read through your question and would like to tell you that raised SGOT and SGPT levels point towards an underlying liver disease. I would advise you to get a bilirubin level done. You should also get an Australia antigen test to rule out hepatitis. If all these test results are within normal limits there is nothing to worry about. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing health care magic.
