Hi, thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
S G O T & S G P T are enzymes related to usually liver function and forms in liver so if there is any malfunction of liver than they are bound to increase.
Since you are taking anti hypertensive medicines from two yrs
In your case I think level of S G O T is non specific because the normal level is 5-50 so need not to worry about that.
Good luck Dr. HET
