Thank you for posting your query.

SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are liver enzymes located inside the liver cell and some other tissues.
these enzymes play an important role in the metabolic processes.
an increase in the level of these enzymes reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as Hepatitis.

Lab results reveal MILD hepatitis. if all causes of hepatitis are ruled out , then abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs" should be observed and recheck liver enzymes after 2 to 4 weeks.


wish you good health.
