Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
SGPT and SGOT are liver enzymes .They increase when the liver is diseased.
AS you have taken chemotherapy and the drugs are metabolised in the liver, they have done these tests .
The results are absolutely normal and nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please fell free to ask me any more queries.
