I've got some test results that I'm a bit worried about. My SGPT levels are sitting at 106, and my SGOT is 38. The direct bilirubin came back at 0.34. I'm wondering if these numbers mean I should get tested for jaundice or something else. Also, are there any ways I can bring these elevated levels down?

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.
