Patient's question:
I already had hepatitis B with a high level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and when I went for a regular check-up recently, I found that my ALT level was still elevated, reaching 98. Please advise everyone, what should I do if my ALT is high with hepatitis B? How can I treat it effectively?Doctor's answer:
Elevated ALT levels indicate mild liver inflammation. In fact, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), also known as Alanine Aminotransferase, is widely present in the liver, kidneys, heart, muscles, and other tissues and organs. ALT levels can fluctuate relatively, as life is not without variations. When the body is inflamed or damaged, ALT is released in large amounts into the bloodstream, causing a significant increase. Hepatocytes have the highest ALT activity and are one of the most sensitive indicators of liver cell damage.
