4. Changes in Liver Function

Abnormalities in alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) often indicate acute or chronic active hepatitis, but since this indicator is not specific to hepatitis B, it must be considered alongside other tests and overall clinical findings. Abnormalities in the turbidity test, inverted albumin/globulin ratio, and increased gamma-globulin electrophoresis often suggest chronic active changes in hepatitis B. In chronic persistent hepatitis, liver function is mostly within normal ranges, but slight changes may occur during active phases.
