Brief Answer:
Its a normal report

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Lipid profile is normal. Medicine not needed. Only low fat diet and regular exercise is needed

Liver function test indicates either mild liver injury or long term liver issue. It could be due to some medicine or infection. She can void taking liver-toxic medicines like pain killers, antibiotics etc. Also drink cleaner water and take hygienic food. Wash hands everytime before eating something.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
