If you are overweight need to cut down on weight.
Avoid alcohol.

Hi
Thank you for the query.
There is significant abnormality in your LFT and Thyroid profile report.
Need to get yourself evaluated with ultrasound abdomen testing, hepatitis B and C testing and need to consult an gastroenterologist and endocrinologist too.
If you are taking alcohol need to stop immediately.
Avoid painkillers if any.

Hi Doctor
As instructed by you I have consulted endocrinlogist for my abnormal TFT.
For abnormal LFT I have done my Hep C and Hep B testing . Reports attached.
Do I need to get the ultrasound also as I had done the ultrasound in 2012 and there were no abnormalities.
