Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
From the liver function test reports it is evident that your liver is functioning normally. Cirrhosis is in its advanced stages will manifest with altered liver function tests. In the early stages it is a ultrasound that will provide information about the echotexture of the liver.
therefore if you want to clarify your doubt an ultrasound examination of the upper abdomen will be diagnostic.
With regards
