Brief Answer:
Reduce Fat Intake
Detailed Answer:
hi
Thanks for writing in
Considering your age it is not advisable that you consume alcohol - it is better you stop taking alcohol. As long as you don't quit alcohol completely, I will be worried about elevated liver enzymes. Once you quit alcohol and triglyceride is also controlled, SGPT will come down over a period of time. You need to see a good physician who can help you control lipid levels.
A hepatoprotective agent like Hepatogard could be of some help
Also avoid fried and fatty meals
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

Thanks a lot doctor, will consult a doctor to control lipid levels and I am stopping the alcohol completely,
Hope the SGPT 56 is not so dangerous / life threatening ?? or Do I need to take any medication to control SGPT ?
The SGPT was 70-80 When I was diagnosed with mild fatty liver, it reduced a bit to 43 (border line ) and then to 56 in my last test. but will it be possible to reverse completely to the normal level ?
