I recently had a liver function test, and my results showed: Globulin: 3.7 gm/dL A/G ratio: 0.93 SGOT: 56.8 IU/L SGPT: 51.2 IU/L Can someone tell me if these values indicate a minor or major risk to my health?

I am experiencing severe discomfort in the upper and middle abdomen, along with bloating and excessive gas. I am currently taking Nexpro L. My epigastric pain has not improved. I have attached my latest blood report and ultrasound. Could you please help me understand which organs might be involved, and whether I can take Rifaximin or Rifagut 200 mg for dyspepsia and gastritis? I would like guidance on the best treatment for dyspepsia, gastritis, and fatty liver.

My recent liver profile test shows a high GGT level, while all other parameters, including SGOT and SGPT, are within normal limits.
