[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, SGOT and SGPT are liver enzymes which are elevated in cases of damage to liver cells or hepatocytes. Jaundice is caused by elevated levels of bilirubin and not by elevated levels of liver enzymes. Malarial infection caused by Plasmodium viva can infect the liver cells or hepatocytes and thus this can lead to elevated levels of liver enzymes. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
