  - - - Restrict alcohol use
      - Avoid process foods
- - - - Albumin levels lower than 3.5 g/dL may indicate cirrhosis
      - Bilirubin levels above 1.2 mg/dL may indicate cirrhosis
      - Increased Alanine transaminase (ALT) above 55 U/L may indicate cirrhosis
      - Aspartate transaminase (AST) above 48 U/L may indicate cirrhosis
      - Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) over 129 U/L may indicate cirrhosis
- - - - Drowsiness and fatigue
      - Headache
- - - - And further stimulate kupffer cells to release cytokines
      - TGF Transforming growth factor(chemokine) is also released which causes more stellate cells to become myofibroblast proliferation which further release TGF, which becomes more myofibroblast
      - Which release chemokines which attract more innate immune cells to the area
      - These fibroblasts become matrix of collagen that essentially is liver cirrhosis
