Hello

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

You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen.

I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
It is good that you are non alcoholic and values are decreasing after treatment.
You may need to take medicines for three month.It depend upon evaluation.

You should avoid saturated fat.

Get well soon.
Take Care
