Question: Hello Dr Narasi..In May my Alkaline Phosphatase was 124, AST 48 and ALT 156.. XXXXXXX lowered all - Alkaline to 85 (normal) AST 44 and ALT 64. I have completely cut out alcohol and am to have another bloodtest as well as an ultrasound. Is there anything I could do to lower the readings further between now and my next blood tests in 3 weeks?

Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I want to congratulate your for your decision to stop alcohol and take care of your health.
Your liver enzymes have gone down practically to a normal level in just 1 month.This is a very good news and it indicates that the only cause of the abnormal liver tests was the inflammation of liver due to alcohol intake.This inflammation was totally reversible ,once you cut off alcohol.
Liver has a great ability to regenerate ,once you cut off all factors that can cause inflammation and damage liver cells.
You don't need to do anything special ,just make sure to have a very healthy lifestyle.Don't drink alcohol ,don't smoke .Eat healthy ,mostly green vegetables and exercise regularly.Drink plenty of water.
I am sure the liver function tests will be completely normal in the next test.
Hope it helps.
Please feel free to ask if you have any question.I would be happy to answer.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
