Hello

Your findings suggests raised SGPT and bilirubin level.
Alkaline phosphatase level is also raised,so it is important to rule out obstructive jaundice.
Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,auto immune causes etc.
SGOT is non specific.

It is most likely related to hepatitis in your case as bilirubin level is also raised.

You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.

Ultrasound of abdomen is important in your case.It can rule out obstructive cause.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

You should avoid fatty food.

Take Care
