I quit drinking for 5 days so i can take my second ALT test, and 5 days after i quit, it elevated from 376 to 452. What can do that? I stopped drinking altogether and I have been eating right. Im 32 and 30 pounds over weight. All i can think of is my sprained ankle and the raw oyster I ate the day before.
Healthier may be mild variation in results. It depends upon many things like lab variation etc. We can't expect good results in such a short period. Increased ALT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, obesity,altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. It may be due to alcohol intake in your case. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You may need few more medicines after full investigations. It is good that you have quit alcohol intake. I suggest follow-up test after 3 months. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
