What should I do if my ALT is too high?

The problem of high alanine aminotransferase is quite common in clinical practice. When this happens, we need to understand whether it is caused by problems with the liver. For example, hepatitis can easily cause these symptoms, so we must pay attention to protecting the liver and reducing enzymes.

1. Protect liver and reduce enzymes

The treatment of alcoholic liver disease must first stop drinking. Active and successful abstinence is the most effective measure to prevent and treat alcoholic liver disease. Drug treatment should select appropriate drugs based on clinical symptoms. In case of abnormal alanine aminotransferase, liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs are generally used to reduce damage to the liver. Schisandra chinensis, which is commonly used in clinical practice, contains schisandrin B, which can enhance the liver's detoxification ability by inducing the activity of hepatic cytochrome P450, increase hepatocyte protein synthesis, and promote cell repair and regeneration, thereby achieving the effect of lowering serum transaminase and protecting the liver.

Second, vitamin supplement

Changes in the body's nutritional status are closely related to the prognosis of alcoholic liver disease, especially for people who drink alcohol for a long time and have liver or digestive system diseases. Nutritional supply is effective in improving alcoholic liver disease. Vitamin B can supply the nutrients needed by the liver, maintain normal liver metabolism, and repair liver damage.

3. Pay attention to your diet

Patients with high alanine aminotransferase can eat more fungal foods, such as fungus and mushrooms, to improve their immunity. Eating more high-protein foods can promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells. Attention should also be paid to the supplementation of fresh vegetables and fruits.
