Is There Any Way To Evaluate The Chances Of Serious Liver Disease, The Blood Report Shows Three Times The Normal Range?

Hello. I recently went to the Doctor because I was uncomfortable sleeping on my stomach. When my belly was pressed in it was tender, as if bruised. The Doctor ordered blood tests and called back to say my Liver Function Test results were 3 x the upper range and suggested I forgo alcohol for one month and then re-test. Now I am really scared. Is there any way to evaluate the chances of serious liver disease?

Hi.
I would suggest you to stop alcohol and re-do the tests as rightly advised by your Doctor. An ultrasonography is indeed a very good investigation to start with to evaluate seriousness of liver disease.
