Does Decreasing Intake Of Wine Help To Reduce AST And ALT Enzymes?
I had a blood test in September. My AST was 158 and my ALT was 68. I was drinking wine heavily and was sick from April to September. Didn't know what I had, but lost 25 lbs. since September I have decreased my wine intake from a bottle to 1 glass a day. Will this help lower my enzymes? Also since I was so sick prior to my blood test, could this have an affect on the enzymes.
When I spoke to my doctor he indicated to me, not once, but twice that it was mildly elevated. Is this considered mild? G

Hi
Wine is 9 to 11 percent alcohol.If you stop or reduce it then can make a favourable change in Liver enzymes.As your liver cells are getting lost,if you take alcohol little also it can harm.But if you stop it regeneration to the maximum can happens as your enzymes have not gone so high.
hope this may help you
thanks
