Please advise how critical my condition is and am i headed for liver failure? I am very worried
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting your query. With the available described symptoms, there appears to be possibility of Alcoholic hepatitis. What is your current GOT/ SGPT level? As such there is no correlation between bilirubin level and severity of liver disease. As your GGT level is decreasing, your condition is improving. You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up. You must have to stop alcohol to prevent further liver damage. You should also go for ultrasound imaging for detection of liver status. You should continue prescribed medication, multivitamins, and normal healthy diet. Take care,
