Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
The value of the liver function blood test and the triglyceride of your husband are high referring to the normal range, from the weight and height that you mentioned here I understand that your husband is overweight.
Overweight and alcohol intake are the main cause of fatty liver that is the reason of high value of SGPT and SGOT, alcohol intake induce also the rising of triglyceride blood level.
Your husband should lose weight, avoid the alcohol intake, he should eat a low fat diet, choosing fish instead of red meat, do minimally 30 minutes of brisk walking every day.
He should take an appointment with the gastroenterologist to solve and monitor the fatty liver problem.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Kind regard,
Dr .Marsida Janko
