Brief Answer:
Cutting down alcohol is the key to prevent further liver damage

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir.Thanks for your query.

Thanks for sharing the reports.
As per the reports AST, ALT, GGT which are markers of alcohol induced liver damage are high.These are moderately high and thus I would strongly recommend to reduce your alcohol intake, preferably stop drinking.Consult a deaddiction center(if possible).Kindly consult a physician and get your blood pressures checked.

Kindly be advised that further alcohol consumption will result in further damage of liver and complications over a period of time.Liver damage are reversible at early stages like that of yours.

I am glad that the lipids, kidney function tests and reat are healthy. However Vitamin D and folic acid supplements have to taken.Nothing to panic.

Please free to reach for further queries.

Regards
Dr.Praveen
