Brief Answer:
Abnormal function tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic.

It depends upon extent of liver damage and that can be seen on ultrasound abdomen which looks for liver size, margins, surface and ehogenecity. These all indicators suggest if gross structural changes have not occurred, then AST and ALT should come back to normal with in six months. Drink plenty of water and avoid unnecessary medicines and alcohol and other liver toxins.

Hoping you a speedy recovery. If you dont have any more questions, kindly close the discussion.
