Hi,

Thank you for consulting HealthcareMagic!

First of all, I want to reassure you that usually mildly or sometimes even moderately elevated liver enzymes do not hint towards any serious or long term liver problem.

There are some minor conditions which also cause mild elevation in SGOT and SGPT, some of which include Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, Infectious mononucleosis which are viral infections, being overweight, taking OTC drugs like Paracetamol etc.

In your we need to exclude some other possibilities for elevation in SGOT and SGPT apart from Alcoholic hepatitis and due to excess fats (which will not be in your case) such as:
Cholelithiasis (Cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), autoimmune hepatitis, Hypothyroidism etc.

Generally, there would be 10 - 100 times than that of normal in SGOT and SGPT elevation in case of acute hepatitis and <10 times than that of normal in case of obstruction in bile circulation.

I suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist to exclude all the possibilities by undergoing physical examination and investigations like ultrasound etc.

Hope this helps!
