I'm really worried about my liver. My SGOT level is at 62.0, and my SGPT is 20.0. The doctor mentioned something about liver damage, and I'm scared because they said a liver transplant might be the last option. What steps can I take now?

I'm dealing with liver cirrhosis and its been really tough these past two months. My doctor mentioned that about 70% of my liver is scarred, but todays report showed the left lobe of my liver is enlarging. Is that a sign of improvement? Also, I need some advice on how to boost my albumin levels since they're currently at 3.6. Can you suggest a diet or any specific foods to help with that?
