Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Your friend is taking inderal, procarbizole, prednisoke, zoom, prednisolone.

Procarbizole contains propylthiouracil. It is can cause liver toxicity and even liver failure and death can occur from that. AST and ALT should be regularly monitored and it should be discontinued if and symptoms of liver disease are seen. Your friend has very high SGPT and most commonly it is due to drugs toxicity & liver damage. He should consult his doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
