41 IU of SGPT is not something to worry about. There is a variation of normal range. Some books consider a normal range form 0 - 48 U/L. The level goes in few hundreds during Jaundice. I will advice you to just ignore it. If someone will come to me with this report I will tell that it is perfectly normal.
