possible causes for high SGOT count

  I have already scheduled tests to determine the cause of a SGOT count of 430. I would appreciate information as to the possible causes of this condition. All other levels are within or close to normal range. Thank you.

An elevtaed SGOT usually is a reflection of damage to liver ceels.  Hepatitis due to virus or drugs is the most likely cause.  A value this high would probably not be due to alcohol-induced liver damage.  I am surprised that your other liver tests are normal.  An elevated SGOT is always associated with an increase in SGPT and GGT.  If the SGPT and GGT are normal, then your increased SGOT may reflect muscle damage, a less common cause for the elevation.  You need to talk with your physician to learn the levels of the other liver tests
