Dear friend, greetings from HCM. U understand your concern. SGPT / ALT Elevated indicates that lifer is swollen a bit. Even bilirubin is slightly high . this is called as latent jaundice. If bilirubin levels are over 2.5 or 3 then only we will see yellowish discolouration.
Might be due to the surgery. Please wait and see. Repeat the tests after a week . it might come normal. Even obesity , fatty liver , and diabetes too cause elelevation in the SGPT levels.
Take care and do contact vus for more questions.
Thank you .
