HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .
HI Your SGOT, SGPT values are slightly elevated . At present for this value you don't need treatment . Also the pattern of elevation is showing that it is not alcohol induced elevated but some other cause is there ( Most likely a viral infection , medicines induced )
Unless you have fever or right sided abdominal pain there is no need to take any medicine now . Continue abstaining alcohol and repeat LFT after 6 weeks .
Any clarifications feel free to ask , Happy to answer .
