Doctor: Hello in the absence of symptoms abnormal sgot and sgpt could be caused byAlcohol or vir hepatitisI would suggest you get tested for hepatitis B and hepatitis CIn case you don't drink and the above thests are negative then I would repeat the sgot  and sgpt levels after 3 months if they are still raised raised you might need further investigations. Fat deposition in the liver can also cause the rise but you need to rule out the conditions mentioned above.Hope this helpsDo get back in case you have further queriesDr Samir Patil
