Hi Mikki, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
You haven't mentioned what is the exact result value of your SGPT. The normal range of values for SGPT is 7 to 56 units per liter of serum. It can be found to be elevated mildly and temporarily and it doesn't signal a chronic or serious liver disease. It can also happen if there is a serious muscle damage. Not to worry. If you are concerned you can discuss it with your Hepatologist.
Wish you Good Health.
