Hi all.I have been having blood tests every 6 months for a few years as my liver enzymes are raised. I had a period of heavy drinking for a few years but stopped it 5 years ago.

I have been on diuretics since 2022 and finally reduced to 25mg spironolactone which I’m due to come off. Now recompensated/compensated.
