He should go for complete liver function test and take treatment of that. His cholesterol levels are some what problematic.  His HDL cholesterol is low which increases the risk of heart disease.

It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
