Gastroenterologist 's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.

This much increase in SGOT and SGPT suggest that he is having acute viral hepatitis. And Hepatitis C rarely causes acute viral hepatitis.

So I will suggest you to visit a Hepatologist for detail history, evaluation and management

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
