Hi thank you for posting your query in HCM.
I understand your concerns. SGOT AND SGPT enzymes are the most sensitive indicates of liver cell pathology. Elevated levels occurs in conditions like fatty liver, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis A, B, C, D, drug induced toxicity, cirrhosis, cholecystectomy. I would advise you to quit from smoking, stop consumption of alcohol. If you are obese plan for losing weight.
Wishing you good health.
