Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Once the level is above the normal range, it indicates that the liver may not be working as it should.
Since it is only a mild increase, this means that at this stage there is only mild impaired function but if it continues to progress then may be continued damage.

The level should decrease with decreased alcohol use.

I hope this helps
