Hello

Elevated liver enzymes like increased SGOT and SGPT may indicate liver injury.
It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.

Your husband may need clinical evaluation and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg tablet twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

He should avoid saturated fat and go for brisk walk regularly.
Avoid alcohol and smoking if he take these things.

Get well soon.
Take Care
