Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
I can understand the problem of your mother in law.

I have gone through the results of liver tests, I am of the opinion that your mother in law is likely to be suffering from liver disease which is reflected in the form of high SGPT, SGOT, and GGPT levels.

GGPT levels are also increased in congestive heart failure, diabetes, or pancreatitis. They may also be caused by alcohol abuse or use of drugs that are toxic to the liver.

Since your doctor has advised MRI for her, it is better get it done to rule out the causes. You may also ask for abdominal ultrasound.

I hope your doubts have been clarified.
Wishing your mother in law a speedy recover from her present illness.
Best regards!
