Patient: HI Dr my father got hep c  yr back then he took interferon he complete course for six months and when he test after treatment that was negative bt after four months he was not feeling well when he tested again and hep c is positive and his sgpt is 79 can u please tell me why it occur again?? and why sgpt is raised?? Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.Noted he has chronic hepatitis c...In which chances of chronic hepatitis is very high as much as 80%....He might be in active stage so antiviral drug given....It suppress viral multiplication...But now you are hepatic c positive...So yes you are In chronic phase...Regular follow up done.Take more fruits .Use less oil while cooking for lunch and dinner....Protein diet taken in adequate amount...In morning take one tsp licorice with honey...Yoghurt , carrot , tomato good in your diet.Avoid alcohol...So your sgpt high because of liver affection as this enzyme present in liver hepatocytes.Take care.
