Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.
It is important to know bilirubin level,viral markers,lipid profile and alcohol history.Ultrasound of abdomen should be done.
SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.

You have been prescribed right medicines by your doctor.You should take tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It will help in regeneration of liver cells.

You should reduce your weight if you are overweight.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should take limited salt in your diet.
You should completely avoid alcohol and cigarettes if you take these things.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.You should also increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
