Patient's question:
I had diarrhea and the test results showed ALT at 104. The local doctor didn't prescribe any liver-protecting medication. After half a month, when I retested, it had risen to 220. Then I stayed in the Children's Hospital in Nanchang for nine days. During my hospital stay, I received eight days of liver-protecting medication, which brought the ALT down to 103. The hospital doctor then discharged us and prescribed liver-protecting medication for my baby to take at home. We gave the medication to our baby for nine days, and yesterday we went back to our local hospital for a retest. The results showed ALT still at 130. I would like to ask what should be done in this situation and how to get it down completely. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
There are many factors or causes that can cause elevated transaminase levels, such as viral liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, toxic liver disease, drug-induced liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, malnutrition, fatigue, anxiety and insomnia, biliary obstruction, and other diseases such as gallbladder disease, heart disease, etc.Advice: It is recommended to further identify the factors or causes. You can use disodium disulfate injection for intravenous treatment to reduce transaminase levels.
