Brief Answer:
Please provide details of your complaints

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have gone carefully through the attached report. However, I need to know what made you visit the doctor and get blood tests done. Please provide the relevant history first. Also mention whether you take alcohol. Based on that I would be able to guide you further.

Please note that there is no evidence that Liv-52 has beneficial effects as claimed. By taking such medicines all you are doing is to increase the burden on liver and the liver would need to detoxify the drug and eliminate it.

Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification is primary.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the update. Although you have refrained from alcohol, your previous habit already had a damaging effect on your liver and it needs to be given some time for things to improve. Kindly be patient. I do not think that any medicines need to be taken. A healthy lifestyle, regular morning walk and exercise, a fiber rich diet and plenty of water to drink - are all you need.
