<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My cousin 48 Yrs old got operated for bypass four month ago,2 wks b4 we found he suffering for Hepatic B.His Bilurin increased to 10 SGOT SGPT level above thoused. Now after 2 wks his bilirubin reduce to 1.8 but SGPT SOPT levels are around 500. Does SGOTSGPT reqd more time to drop to normal? What diet you suggest?  <response>: Hepatitis B positive with SGPT and GOT suggests acute hepatitis B. SGPT and GOT would take 2-3 months to come down, however as long as he is asymptomatic there is little to worry. What is worrisome is a chronic carrier state that can develop in a few patients. Have Bag re-checked at 6 months with ELISA. If it is negative, there is little to worry, if it persists - we need to do further tests. Also have close family members checked for Bag and if they are negative they must take Hepatitis B vaccine for prophylaxis.
