Can High ALT Levels Be Caused By Alcohol Consumption?
I am taking Humira for my Psorasis and my recent blood tests have shown ALT levels of 66- my specialist said he will retest me in a months time and hopefully see if it will go down!! I must admit I have recently been overdrinking due to a lot of pressures!could this be the reason why an increase or could it be the medication!! Any advice on getting this lower for my future blood test??
