Mildly elevated SGOT & SGPT levels are not of much concern.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
A low BUN is not of much concern.
Slightly elevated levels of SGOT and SGPT are of not much concern either.
The drugs that you are taking are also not responsible for elevated SGOT and SGPT ;levels.
You may re-check the levels after couple of months.
As of now, there is nothing to worry.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
