Hello

Thanks for asking query on HCM. Elevated SGPT may be due to multiple factors in your husband and needs evaluation along with treatment. Common causes could be - secondary to fatty liver, alcohol related, drug induced - atorvastatin or a combination of these. I would suggest to get liver function test (LFT), Ultrasound of the abdomen to look for fatty liver and testing for hepatitis B and C. Depending on that specific treatment can be decided. Few common treatment goals are - to stop alcohol, increase physical exercise, good sugar control and reduce weight if obese.

Take care.
