Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic. I understand your query.
High SGPT level is commonly caused by acute liver injury (due to drugs,toxins etc),viral hepatitis,bile duct diseases like cholangitis,alcoholic hepatitis(but level of SGOT will be higher).These intracellular enzymes SGPT,SGOT raises in the blood as cellular damage increases.More the damage,more the serum enzyme levels.But if the causative agent is removed,usually the levels come back normal in weeks with or without hepatoprotective drugs like livolin forte.Hope I have answered your query.If any further questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
