How Dangerous Is Hepatitis Cut Off Value Of 18?

My Father is 75 years old and yesterday after checking his blood report hepatitis cut off value is 18. Please suggest what we have to do and how mush it is dangerous? We are very tense. He is already facing knee joint pain since 6 years and taking pain killer tablets.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You father may hepatitis. But there are many values in hepatitis with many types of antigen and antibodies. So we can not say about value. For that please send me that report. Your father should go for SGPT, SGOT and bilirubin level. Then he should take treatment accordingly.
Avoid fatty food and alcohol. Take high protein diet and rest.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
