Hi,

Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further.

Viral hepatitis, increased Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of liver disease. All these should be ruled out.

Advice:

- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages
- NO red meat
- Green vegetables should be ingested daily
- Use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- Reduce weight if overweight/obese
- "Recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 12 months" and/or ultrasound

Hope to answer your concern. Any further questions are welcome. Wish you good health.

Regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
