What Is The Reason For Having High SGPT After Undergoing Gallbladder Surgery?

Hi! My father is 68 years old he underwent a gallstone surgery last November 11, 2013. His SGPT before surgery is 59. But today , November 28 his SGPT is already 137. He is an alcoholic prior to his operation but since his operation he stopped taking beers. His surgeon also gave him cefuroxime for 7days after his operation and arcoxia for pain and he took arcoxia for 1week after operation.. What could be the cause of his high sgpt? His heart is ok as per his cardiologist who did several tests before his operation. Will this sgpt be lowered? How?

Thanks and hope to hear a reply from you..

sgpt is high in liver tissue damage
the liver is the only tissue which can work to fuul even damaged 98 percent
the previous damage if there is permanent can give these results
and if it increases it means medicines or problem is causing more damage so need to change the salts or find other way
even if it is this no need to woopry in my advise use preventions to keep under control
