Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your ulcle has high SGPT level and jaundice.
SGPT is liver enzyme and its level increase in liver damage. Jaundice means high bilirubin level.

This type of picture is commonly seen in viral hepatitis like hepatitis A, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Other cause or drug toxicity, alcohol, toxin etc.

He should go for hepatitis profile, complete liver function tests and ultrasound abdomen.

This will help you to search the cause. Then he should take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
