Does ALT Levels Suggest Cirrhosis?
have just had full blood test last week and my LFT has come back with ALT at 74 and my GGT at 121 I am 49 and do drink alcohol every night Is this a serious range of reading that indicates cirrhosis of the liver or if stop drinking and go on liver cleansing program will it drop back down ?

Dear sir, greetings from HCM... I understand your concern ... I read your report... its not cirrhosis .... Yet you need to be careful ..it could be the early stages that is alcoholic hepatitis .. Still if you can quit alcohol right now also your condition could be reversed ... You will be alright ... Liver can heal come back to its healthy state ... So make up your mind now and quit alcohol ... Take more of green leafy vegetables, fruits and avoid taking any drugs with out doctor s prescription ... Please do contact us for more queries .THANK S AND TAKE CARE
