Concerned about recent easy bruising

I'm concerned about recent easy bruising.  I'm worried that I have cirrhosis or other liver damage.  I've been a drinker for at least 12 years.  I've had some pretty big bruises lately that are not normal; I had blood work done recently, ALT, AST, Albumin, Glbulin, Protien, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase all normal;  Cholesterol, Triclycerides, VLDL, LDL all high, but HDL at a healthy 86 mg/dL.  I have also had some right upper quadrant discomfort/pain, but I have no other physical symptoms of cirrhosis or liver disease that I'm aware of.  Am I getting worked up over nothing, or should I be concerned.  (Also had an ultrasound of liver 3 years ago, it appeared to be normal then.)
