hello,
Most probable reason for sgpt elevation is obesity and fatty liver. As fat accumulates in the abdomen, it also accumulates in liver leading to liver damage and elevation of enzymes. Also, you should reconfirm the elevation.
Do you drink alcohol if yes it could be a reason. Also, you should get one viral marker test done like HBsAg, Anti HCV, in order to rule viral hepatitis. To confirm the diagnosis, we need ultrasound of liver.
Treatment for this is dietary changes like low fat, oily and sugar diet and regular exercise and weight loss.
For bp, it can be age related change occurring early or secondary to some disease. You being an young hypertensive you ll first evaluation for cause of blood pressure. You should undergo test like kidney function test, renal artery Doppler, Sr cortisol and 24 hr Urinary metanephrines.
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If bp is persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, then you should be on medicines for it like telmisartan or amlodipine. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once..
