I'm a bit concerned about my SGPT and SGOT levels. Are there specific precautions I should be taking to get them under control? Should I also consider getting any advanced checkups done? I'm honestly just looking for some guidance here.

I've recently had some lab tests done, and I'm a bit worried about the results. My LFT showed that my bilirubin is at 1.4 mgdl, SGOT is 73 UL, SGPT is 129 UL, and alkaline phosphatase is at 82 UL. Plus, my uric acid level is 6.6 mgdl. I'm a frequent drinker, but I'm trying to cut back on alcohol. What steps should I take to improve these values, and are they something I should be concerned about right now?

Its clear that liver damage is happening,better to quit alcohol and maintain healthy lifestyle,visit gastroenterologist for appropriate management
