Brief Answer:
You are not fit for liver donation

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your blood reports

Your antinuclear antibodies are positive that means you may have some autoimmune diseases

You need further tests such as Anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) to rule out lupus

Unfortunately you are not eligible for liver donation
