Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.It is important to know what medicines you are getting.
Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines etc.
You need proper evaluation.

You need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),lipid profile,GGT level,viral markers,urine RE/ME.

In my practice,for patients like you i suggest tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months more.It will help in regeneration of liver cells.
You may need more drugs after lipid profile test.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely if you take it.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
