Not dangerous

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic

The SGPT and SGOT level are not so high to worry much however a bit concern is needed..

Provide me following info to help better..

1)Are you on any medication ?
2)How is your health ? any symptoms like abdominal pain,nausea,itching etc ?

Anyway avoiding alcoholic beverages ,over the counter medications ,following healthy diet would help get back the parameters to normal range..

Cholesterol is also not high enough to start on cholesterol lowering drug..Diet and life style medications are the mainstay in the initial management ..The lipid profile may be repeated after 1 month..

Hope this answers your query

Take care
