Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.It is important to know other parameters of LFT like bilirubin level.It is also important to know lipid profile.
SGOT is non specific and it increases in other conditions also.
Fatty liver is a reversible stage and it is due to deposition of fat within the liver cells.It can be reversed by diet and life style changes.
You can take tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It will help in regeneration of liver cells.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should take limited salt in your diet.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.You should also increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.
You can also do meditation and yoga.It will help a lot.
Get well soon.
Take Care
