Hello and welcome to HCM,
SGPT and SGOT levels up to 150 and 130 IU/L are abnormal values.
SGPT and SGOT are liver enzymes which are elevated in liver diseases characterized by damage to the hepatocytes or liver cells.
Common causes of elevated liver enzymes are alcoholism, viral infections, toxins and drugs etc.
As you have mentioned that viral markers are negative and there is no history of alcoholism, thus, other cause of these changes has to be found out.
i suggest you to refer a gastroenterologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations like liver biopsy.
If there is history of drug intake, that drug may be responsible for these elevated liver enzymes.
Treatment will depend on the result of the investigations.
Thanks and take care
