What aspects can cause high ALT levels?

Patient's question:

The child's test results are 125U/L. Medical history: None. Previous diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: In June 2006, the test results exceeded the standard, and medication and intravenous infusion were administered, but the effect was not very good. Hepatitis A, B, and C tests showed good results. On January 7, 2007, the retest results were 85U/L higher than the reference value.

Doctor's answer:

Have you had a cold or taken medication recently? This may interfere with the results. It is recommended to recheck liver function, liver and gallbladder ultrasound, hepatitis B five items, hepatitis C, liver enzyme profile, etc. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are both elevated, indicating liver cell damage. The specific cause is difficult to determine, as there are many possible reasons for liver cell damage, requiring further reexamination. After identifying the cause, treatment should be initiated. It is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and limit the intake of greasy, fried, rich, and fatty foods.
