Hello

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury and it may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile, medicines,auto immune causes etc.

Liver is also enlarged in size.
You need few other investigations like random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile.
You may need to take some medicines after proper evaluation.I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

It may take 4-6 months to get SGPT to normal level,but you should avoid alcohol completely.

You should also increase your physical activity and avoid fried and fatty food.

Get well soon.
Take Care
