Brief Answer: need not be worried Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. The tests are in acceptable range except for the mildly elevated liver parenchymal enzymes i.e SGOT and SGPT levels. He must have been screened for hepatitis B and C... If they were normal, nothing is to worry. Only have some limitation of fatty food intake...take plenty of glucose and just chill.... Best wishes
