Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.
Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
In your case,increased SGPT may be related to altered lipid profile as your cholesterol level is also increased.

You need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),GGT level,viral markers,complete liver function test,urine RE/ME.

You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely.

Medicines should be prescribed after complete investigations.
I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily after food for three months.This help in regeneration of liver cells.

I also suggest my patients to take tablet atorvastatin 10 mg at night after dinner.
You should also try to decrease your weight.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
