Hello and thank you for asking HCM.

I have read your report and I understand your concerns.
The range of SGPT(ALT) is 7 to 56 units depending from the kit that different laboratories use. Yours is 74.1,it is slightly elevated.
There are a few factors ,why a healthy patient has slightly elevated SGPT:
-very strenuous exercise or severe injury to a muscle.
-medicines, such as statins, antibiotics, aspirin, paracetamol ect
-alcohol ect

If i was your caring doctor,i would not prescribe any medication for that slightly elevated SGPT,so don't worry.
You need to understand that to get the SGPT back to normal,you need a few months,probably 1 to 3 months away from alcohol. Also here are some advice about your diet,to help your liver recover quickly:
-Minimize your alcohol consumption.
-Have plenty of liquids,especially water
-Fresh vegetables and fruits
-Fish,Grains. Nuts, Olive oil

You need to do another blood test after 1 month and a half to check the levels of your SGPT

If you have any other question,feel free to contact me.
