Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If so I believe you are mentioning it in grams per liter.
The albumin and the platelet values do not indicate he has cirrhosis.
An ultrasound scan or a fibroscan may be done which will show the status of the liver.

If you could upload the report copy, it would be better.
I would have a look at all the results and give my opinion.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
