What Does It Mean To Have Abnormal SGPT And SGOT Level While Suffering From Liver Cirrhosis?

I have liver cirhossis. I was treated during serious stage and have recovered well. After 1 year i am again consuming alcohol daily 180 - 360 ml per day. My SGPT is 30 and SGOT 58. Direct bilrubin 0.8 and indirect 1.2. Are these levels dangerous. I feel healthy, but is it very dangerous to consume alcohol now

Hi thanks for asking question.
You are suffering from liver cirrhosis which is irreversible condition.
Only cure is liver transplantation.
You can only prevent the complication of cirrhosis.
Still you are regularly taking alcohol , because of which your SGPT and SGOT values are high.
To prevent further liver damage you should stop alcohol drink.
You should not take excess fried and fatty food.
Fruit juice taken more.Take green leafy vegetables.
So just now these enzymes are mildly elevated , but if you will not care and continue to use alcohol then liver damage will progress.
I hope you understand my concern.
Wish you good health.
