Recently I had abnormal results on a liver function test. AST = 215 / ALT = 135. Drinking is the issue. I don't think I can stop cold turkey. Will the liver still be able to heal if I cut back by say 95%? Or is abstinence required for liver to heal?
What symptoms would I have if my liver wasnt functioning right? come one come all or on and off?
