Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, High levels of SGPT and uric acid are related to liver functions and kidney functions respectively.SGPT is a liver enzyme which is elevated in injury to hepatocytes or liver cells. The level of SGPT is elevated along with GOT levels. Uric acid is related to kidney functions, however, its value can be interpreted when correlated with other kidney function tests. It is not possible to comment on these parameters in isolation and with isolated values. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
