Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your sgot level is high. So your liver function test is abnormal.
For that following further work up is needed....
_USG abdomen
_serum viral marker hbsag, Anti HCV testing done
_alcohol history should be ruled out
These above following causes should be ruled out as they are common causes.
If no cause identified than will do further work up
Hope this will help you
Take care
You can Consult gastroenterologist for examination and discuss your case
