Increased SGPT indicative of?

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

Dear Doctor, My father's recent blood test reports indicated SGOT value of 29 U/L, SGPT value of 66 U/L, WBC count of 12700 per uL, and Platelets count of 457 thou/uL. All other values are normal in the report of CBC, thyroid, KFT, LFT, DDIMER, PT/INR, Hba1c. What could this be indicative of, is this SGPT value too high to be considered something dangerous with liver going on or some minor infection in liver?
