Hello and welcome to HCM,
The liver function test report suggests deranged liver functions.
There is elevation of total, direct and indirect bilirubin.
The liver enzymes- SGOT and SGPT are also raised.
The rise in above mentioned parameters suggest damage to liver cells (hepatocytes).
The damage to hepatocytes can ossur due to a number of causes eg. infection, drugs, toxins, etc.
An increase in alkaline phosphatase suggests some pathological process in the extra-hepatic biliary tract.
A previous history of liver cirrhosis indicates a previous insult to the liver.
Consult your treating doctor for liver biopsy, diagnosis of the current pathology in the liver and further management.

Thanks and take care
