HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The upper limit of the SGPT is approximately 56, though it can vary from lab to lab. Your father's value is slightly above this.
One of the more common causes is fatty liver. This is the build up of fat in the liver.
If the blood tests result also show that he is a diabetic then he needs to start treatment for this. This would involve lifestyle changes and medications.
There are different medications that are available.
Lifestyle changes involve change of diet and exercise.
I hope this helps
