I'm really worried about my liver. My SGOT level is at 62.0, and my SGPT is 20.0. The doctor mentioned something about liver damage, and I'm scared because they said a liver transplant might be the last option. What steps can I take now?

I'm feeling a bit anxious about my upcoming hair transplant surgery because of my recent blood test results. They found my Bilirubin level was 2, and then my SGOT and SGPT were 102.70 and 136.2, which led to the doctor refusing to proceed with the surgery. They mentioned I need a certificate from an MD in medicine, but I'm confused about if these levels are really that worrying. Can you give me some guidance on whether these results are considered moderate? I'm not sure if it's safe to go ahead with the surgery or not. Looking for some help on what I should do next.

SGOT and SGPT are double normal level, it willl be difficult to give physician consent for surgery.
