Hi, My father just had his SGPT a while ago, 2,507U/L. He had his blood test also and confirmed that he had HEPATITIS B . Last Thursday his SGPT is 1,730U/L. He had his medication , but why still gone up to 2,507U/L. What other medication can he take or food he should eat..Is there still a possibilities for his SGPT to decrease. Thank you

He shouldn't get constipated in any case. He may require bowel wash and lactulose. If he is not admitted, I advise you to get him admitted to the earliest. Stay Healthy
