I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  According to mentioned history your SGPT level is high and for that you have been prescribed or so Deoxycholic acid. Both is drug protect the liver and can help in dissolving the cholesterol in bile. So you can continue with this drug. Your viral marker study and ultrasonography examination is normal and so no need to worry. You have to repeat your SGPT after few days and then if still it is elevated than we will do further work up. Sometime viral infection other than hepatitis virus can lead temporary elevation of SGPT.   Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
