Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
I want to explain that normally AST & ALT (SGOT & SGPT ) are 5-50 I U .
But here on point is very important that if level is more then 300 I U then it is a causes of concern according experts.
Mile elevated level of sgot, sgpt have no specific because each and every drug or food have to pass in the liver so mild elevation may be there.
Still ultrasound of liver play and important role in few diseases but ,if liver not enlarged and still patient feel discomfort then please get in liver biopsy which is important tool in diagnosis liver disease.
Consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination play an important role in liver disease.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
