I'm a bit worried about my liver function test results. My blood report shows an SGPT level of 107 UL and an SGOT level of 71 UL. I drink alcohol regularly, and my doctor recommended I take URSOCDL 300mg tablets. Could you please give me some advice on this?

Based on your liver function test results and history of frequent drinking, the doctor has prescribed you Tab Ursocol. This medication contains Ursodeoxycholic acid which helps in improving liver function. Additionally, it is important to reduce or stop alcohol consumption to support the treatment of your liver condition.

I recently got my liver function test results and I'm feeling a bit unsure. The results show my total bilirubin is 0.7 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and indirect bilirubin is 0.3 mgdl. I noticed that my direct bilirubin is 0.1 mgdl higher than the indirect bilirubin. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything specific I should be doing or looking into?

No need to worry everythis is normal ,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle
