Could High Liver Enzyme Level Cause Liver Cirrhosis?

My sister is an alcoholic. Her liver enzyme level has gone from a high of 155 months ago to 102 now. She stopped drinking for a few days, waters down her drinks, but is drinking again, I dont know how much. At what point does cirrhosis of the liver begin?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Your sister need proper clinical examination and investigations
She need investigations like random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),liver function test,lipid profile,viral markers,urine RE/ME.Ultrasound of abdomen should also be done.

Cirrhosis is an irreversible stage and it can be identified by ultrasonography.Elastography can be done if needed.

She should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
She should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely.
Treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
