You have chronic liver disease.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your blood test suggest high alkaline phosphatase with almost normal sgot and sgpt. So it suggest some biliary obstruction or some infiltrating liver disease.
Your ARFI (acoustic radiation force impulse) is 1.24 so it rule out fibrosis.
So you have no chance of fibrosis and cirrhosis.
You have chronic liver disease due to other cause like viral hepatitis, alcohol, drugs, toxin or non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Your spleenomegaly is due to complication of chronic liver disease.
Treatment depends on cause. Many disease can be treated by drugs and some require liver transplantation.
So first of all we should search the cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
You should go for complete liver function test including hepatitis profile, GGT, total protein and liver biopsy.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Please go for these tests and give me follow up with your reports.

You are non alcoholic and your hepatitis profile is negative.
