4. Changes in Liver Function

Abnormalities in alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) often indicate acute or chronic active hepatitis B, but since this indicator is not specific to hepatitis B, it must be evaluated in conjunction with a comprehensive physical examination and other indicators. Abnormalities in the turbidity test, inverted albumin/globulin ratio, and increased gamma-globulin electrophoresis often suggest chronic active changes in hepatitis B. In most cases of chronic migratory hepatitis, liver function remains within the normal range, while during active phases, there may be mild abnormalities.
