Brief Answer:
Need more tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi

SGPT elevation you need to think of many causes but basically you have done only HCV ,you need to do HBsAg, HCV by ELISA method and an ultrasound abdomen to know the liver texture or fatty liver. If all the above turns out to be normal ,then we need to consider for work up tests for Wilsons and other autoimmune conditions ,but basically if ultrasound shows fatty liver then the cause is obvious ,for that you need to reduce weight and diet modification is must ,even after that still there is persisting increase in enzymes then you need to surely consider for all the autoimmune conditions to be ruled out ,because treatment plan differs.

Till then drink cleaner water, avoid alcohol.

Please let me know if you are taking any medicines.

hope you understood the plan
thank you

Brief Answer:
viral makers should be done by ELISA method

Detailed Answer:
You can do those viral markers by ELISA method ,and can repeat the enzymes after 1 month if still persisting increase or no change in values of enzymes,at that time you can consider for wilsons disease work up and autoimmune profile as I discussed earlier and consult a gastroenterologist in person for further help.
