Thank you so much for your answer.
I will try to restrict myself to 2 or 3 beers or will stop consuming.

So I need not worry about bilirubin elevated levels.
For GGT level do i need to take any medicine as one of the doctor suggested udiliv 150 and do I need to change my food habits.

As I took the LFT 3 months back and was consuming daily from that day. Now i stopped from 3 days. when should I go for LFT test again.

Hi

There is no need to worry about your LFT results. Just avoid consuming Alcohol and you shall be fine .

Food wise for 7-10 days avoid non veg food and that's enough.

In my opinion there is no need to take any medications.

I recommend you to repeat LFT after 2 months.
