General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. I have gone through your question. SGOT/PT are the liver enzymes and they get raised whenever there is liver damage. The damage to the liver can come from viruses, such as the hepatitis C virus, some drugs such as Tylenol. It can get raised by drinking alcohol as well. I would suggest you to to stop drinking and get Viral markers and S. bilirubin done. Follow me up with these reports for further evaluation of your condition. Thanks and Regards.
