What Is The Way To Reduce ALT Levels To Normal With No Help From Medications?

I have been diagonised by liver biopsy due to my liver function test were abnormal, dr have found auto immune hap titas and have been on medication for 6 month, recently I have done my blood test and my result of alt still comes to 80, even after taking medication this has not been reduce to normal level.

My question how long does it take to come to normal, also any food diet would make change to this or not.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this elevated liver enzymes. Auto immune hepatitis is treated with drugs that prevent further damage to the liver. Talking of complete reversal of damage is unlikely. It will take months to years before the liver enzymes return to normal. What is guaranteed is that the progressive damage would be halted. After treatment, you should be able to start observing a downward trend in the liver enzyme numbers

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
