Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back with the report

Here are my suggestions to you.

You liver function is impaired and it is very important to know what is causing this.

1. Please avoid taking alcohol completely
2. Avoid foods rich in fat.
3. Cardiovascular exercises like swimming, jogging, cycling, etc has to be done to reduce the fatty liver
4. Get yourself tested for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. These two viruses are the most common reasons for liver impairment. If it is normal then I strongly suggest a liver biopsy to know the cause.
5. You can take Heptral 400 two per day and Evion once a day. However this is not going to reduce your if it is caused by Hepatitis.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further doubts please get back to me
