Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This is still not critical but it may indicate certain liver disorders. You should do Dopple rultrasound of hepatic and portal blood flow and check your viral markers. This may be first sign of liver failure so it should be treated promptly in hosipital.
I hope I have answered your question.
Wish you good health. Regards
