Hello

Gall bladder calculus may cause jaundice and increase in SGPT. It may be due to obstruction caused by calculus.
Your husband may need clinical examination and investigations like routine hemogram,complete liver function test,urine RE/ME,latest ultrasound of abdomen.
He should go for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus.
Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
He may need tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It regenerates liver cells.

Get well soon.
Take Care
