SGPT = ALT

SGOT = AST

"When AST/ALT > 2.0, it is more likely to be associated with alcoholic hepatitis or hepatocellular carcinoma"

If you have HCV, stop drinking.

Hi and welcome....Something is amiss with your liver function and you need to find out what.   Alcohol once a week is not the culprit.   Do you have Hep C?    Have the doctors said the pancreatitis could cause these #s to elevate?    What I do know is you must find the cause.   Sometimes there are disorders which cause 1 number to be OK, and the other to rise.  Hopefully, it could be an easy answer and resolved quickly.    Either way you need to see either a gastro doc or a hepatologist (liver doc) if a source in not found.   The liver has over 100 functions and not an organ you want to fool around with.
Wish I could help you more.   Hope you find the answer soon.            Kim
