[|AI|]  Hi there, your liver function tests are showing mainly a derangement in the enzyme profile namely GOT, SGPT AND GGT which is suggestive of damage to the liver cells. These are mainly due ATO the alcohol intake and quitting alcohol will solve this issue to a great extent. You can also take up some form of exercise, it would be wise to visit a physician and get some liver enzymes prescribed which will help in faster recovery of the liver. Also assessing the damage done to the liver with the help of an ultrasound give you a baseline level, and you can start working on improving it. These results will work as pilot readings, and you can check your progress in comparison to them. Take care.
