The tests show liver inflammation. If you used to have alcohol previously then that is most likely the cause. However we need to rule out other causes too. You need to be checked for liver viruses like hepatitis B and C. Needless to say you need to quit alcohol and yes you need to be checked up with your physician for other features of liver damage.
