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?

I have a 7mm gallstone can it be treated with udiliv 300 or is surgery necessary for this size? What would you recommend?
For a 7mm gallstone, surgery is often recommended as the first-line treatment due to the relatively low chance of it passing naturally and the potential for complications. Udiliv 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) can be used to dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, but its effectiveness is limited and may take months or years.
