Patient's question:
A few days ago, the unit's health check revealed elevated Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) levels at 61.Doctor's answer:
Your ALT level is 61, slightly higher than the normal range (5-40 U/L), but the issue is not too serious. There are many reasons that can cause an increase in ALT levels, such as intense exercise, excessive stress, or frequently consuming greasy foods, as well as certain infectious diseases, especially heavy alcohol consumption. Please consider whether you have any of these conditions. If not, you should go to the hospital for liver function tests and an ultrasound to confirm if there is inflammation in the liver. If there is inflammation, follow the doctor's advice for treatment based on the test results. Additionally, during the treatment of liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their own diet.
