What Causes High SGOT And SGPT Levels In Blood In An Obese Person?

Mild elevation due to being overweight
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with you health care concerns
You have had recent labs and the ALT and AST are both minimally high. This is a direct reaction to being overweight. There is fat being deposited into your liver which is squeezing out the good liver cells causing the high ALT and AST. If you lose weight that will stop the process. If you don't the liver will eventually become very fatty and in extreme cases cause permanent liver damage. I recommend therefore weight loss, regular exercise program and low fat diet
At this time you are not in any danger but over decades of this it can lead to permanent damage.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
