Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
You need few other investigations like routine hemogram,Random blood sugar(RBS),Complete liver function test(LFT),Viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.Further investigations can be done if needed.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
You may need few medicines after investigations.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
