Hello
Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.
Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,auto immune causes etc.
Increased SGOT may be due to many reasons,it is non specific.
Your husband need proper evaluation.
He need few other investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,viral markers,complete liver function test,lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen.
In such condition,I suggest my patients to take tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
He should avoid fatty and fried food.It is usually not very serious.
Get well soon.
Take Care
