Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
From your description I understand that you have a fatty liver that had progressed to cirrhosis, this condition caused body joints edema (swelling) due of decreasing protein production by the liver. This condition cause the high value of SGPT and SGOT blood level.
I recommend you to follow-up your condition by a gastroenterologist.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Kind regard,
Dr .Marsida Janko
