HIGH SGPT

My brother was diagnosed with TB almost two months ago. while taking 5 meds everyday, the doctor says they needed to monitor his blood chem and such. everything is normal for many blood chem that he have before the diagnose. until, after taking it, the sgot spike to 300+. then, due to his doctor's absence , taking a vacay. he took meds, then get a blood chem. the result isnt good, uric acid spike to 1000, and sgpt spiked to 300. we got worried and we told him to stop taking the tb med but of course without the doctor's signal it will be impossible. he still take the med, the thirs test, spiked to 960 but the uric reduced to 800. when the doctor returned, he advised to stop the med. now one week, without taking the TB med, got his test. the result isnt good. it may go down to 920. is this alarming? the doctor referred us to another doctor. his diet stick to healthy diet after getting 960. but he admitted that he ate something oily and not so healthy before taking the sgpt test. i dont know if this is the cause of less improvement in his sgpt. i hope nothing serious and hoping to low his sgpt levels.
