Is Liver Function Test Showing The Reading Of 67 Concerning?

Hi I am 30 years old 6"3 and weigh 15 stone. I ran a pub for 2 years and decided to give it up as I was drinking too much. While i was at the doctors for a chest infection I decided to have a liver function test done. I phoned for the results and they said all was fine apart from 1 reading that was 67 and it should normally be no more than 50. She said to ring and speak to the doctor on Thursday. I am worried I may have done serious damage to my liver.

Hi. Firstly I'd like to calm you down because 67 (I don't know if it is SGOT, SGPT OR GGT) is not as high as to cause worring. The best you have done was giving up drinking, this is "the first cure" for your liver and the beginning of regeneration of this fantastic organ. Of course there will be other test to clarify your liver function and "past damage", that your doctor will give to you.
