hello thank you for posting your query in HMC.
SGPT and SGOT are liver enzymes ,indicators of liver cell injury and helps in recognising liver problems. SGPT is mainly found in liver . SGOT is found in liver, kidneys,pancreas,muscle,lungs.
my opinion is that you should not worry much as your SGPT is slightly elevated. further increase in the levels will definitely lead to liver cell damage, hepatitis.
i would suggest you to avoid alcohol, quit from smoking, have a balanced and healthy diet, reduce fat intake foods, increase physical activity. get a regular check up from your doctor . this will help you to lower SGPT levels and prevent your liver from diseases.
