Hello,

Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. All reports are borderline. Your cholesterol mildly elevated with an increased atherosclerosis risk factor.
2. Serum sodium and potassium are within normal limits. ALT and GGT mildly elevated indicating possible alcohol-related liver injury.
3. If you are not an alcoholic, you need to reduce weight, increase exercise, and have a nutritional diet to reduce the further fatty change in the liver. All these are reversible, and requires lifestyle changes for improvement.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prakash H Muddegowda
