Hello
Let me explain you that ,what is sgot sgpt .
In your case serum bilirubin level is normal so need not to worry.
The aminotransferase are sensitive indicators of LIVER CELL INJURY and are most helpful in recognizing acute hepatocellular disease such as HEPATITIS.
They includethe aspartate aminotransferase ( SGOT ) and the alanine aminotransfearse ( sgpt).
Sgot is found in liver , cardiac muscle , skeletal muscle, kidney, brain, pancreas, lungs, leucocytes, and erythrocytes in DECREASING disorder of concentration.
Sgpt is mainly found in the liver.
I want to explain you that any mild disease or any injury to above mentioned organs may be responsible for high level of SGOT .
While primarily sgpt is in liver , so any cell injury to liver cells may be responsible for liver disease.
But this level is not so high so at present need not to worry , if you didn't have any other symptoms.
Keep regular watch over liver function tests and symptoms .
Besides avoid wine , drugs .
Still if you have any doubt get in MRI and ultrasound of liver .
Consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is also important .
Good luck.
