Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

Noted he has chronic hepatitis c...
In which chances of chronic hepatitis is very high as much as 80%....

He might be in active stage so antiviral drug given....
It suppress viral multiplication...
But now you are hepatic c positive...
So yes you are In chronic phase...
Regular follow up done.

Take more fruits .
Use less oil while cooking for lunch and dinner....
Protein diet taken in adequate amount...
In morning take one tsp licorice with honey...
Yoghurt , carrot , tomato good in your diet.

Avoid alcohol...
So your sgpt high because of liver affection as this enzyme present in liver hepatocytes.

Take care.
