Hello.The SGOT and SGPT levels are slightly elevated,is not worrisome but is important to follow proper diet.He must avoid alcohol, red meat, fried foods,
cakes,bakery products, potatoes.It is recommended a diet with fruits, vegetables, whitefish,white meat.It is also very important the practice of physical exercise.With diet and physical exercise, levels of SGOT and SGPT probably will decrease.If the levels of SGOT and SGPT no decreasing in three
months,he should go to your doctor for an abdomen ultrasound.
I wish you good health.
