Welcome to Healthcare Magic
SGOT and SGPT are not elevated significantly and can be taken as normal. Bilirubin is slightly raised, you can wait for it to come down. He needs to stay away from smoking and most importantly alcohol otherwise he can develop cirrhosis and vomit blood and lot of severe problems. Get his other levels tested as well like ALP, Serum albumin, Prothrombin time for better picture. Encourage plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in his diet, avoid junk food. Let him drink enough water for the day. Exercise by brisk walking for 40 minutes a day to keep fit and prevent unnecessary illnesses.
