Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

What I can make out is that your father is suffering from hepatitis due to infection with Hepatitis B virus , probably chronic hepatitis B .
It would have been great had I examined your father on my own.
Yes , he definitely does have liver dysfunction. He needs a thorough evaluation .
Do not panic.
With proper treatment , it can be kept under control.

I would suggest you to ask him to
- Avoid oily,spicy food
- Drink loads of water
- Stop smoking , alcohol
- I would start tablet Udiliv and tablet Pantoprazole.Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage.
- Get an ultrasound abdomen done
- Get a blood hemoglobin, total blood count, platelets, ESR , liver function test , Hepatitis B serology ( HBsAg, Anti HBS , Anti HBc IgG and IgM , HBeAg) , ANA , Anti LKM 1, 2, 3 , HBV DNA . They will help in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

There are plenty of medications like ENtecavir , Interferons, Lamivudine, Tenofovir etcetra.

Take him to a gastro-enterologist. He/she can examine him and correlate clinically.
