Brief Answer:
LFT is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
I have gone throught your LFT report. It is normal.
You need not worry about the fatty liver. Your symptoms are not related t the fatty liver.
Your throat pain weakness and mild head ache could be attributed to GERD.
I would suggest to take omeprazole for at least 4 weeks. It is available as an over the counter medication.
A calcium supplement should help you with your Knee pain.

Regarding the fatty liver i would suggest a few lifestyle changes to prevent progression.
1. Regular exercise
2. Avoid alcohol
3. Fried Fatty foods
4. In case you are over weight and your BMI (body mass index ) is over 25 then weight reduction to bring it below 25 is advisable.
Hope this helps
Do get back in case you need any further clarifications
