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
