Now after 10 days also the values are same. doctor says that earlier values were showing increasing trend of all the above three things and now it is showing decreasing trend. Is it true that in Jaundice trend reverses and is it possible that I might have got the blood test done at same levels of SGOT SGPT and Bilirubin but this time i might be improving...

hi.
noted history of jaundice. it is possible that you have an obstruction (may be due to gallstones or tumor lesion) somewhere along your hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree causing your jaundice and elevated liver enzymes. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. other diagnostics (such as ultrasound, ERCP, ct-scan, other blood exams, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
