Patient's question:
A 34-year-old male, one year ago, I found during a health check that [total bilirubin][alanine aminotransferase 49 approximately][indirect bilirubin] were slightly high. I took some traditional Chinese medicine, but it didn't work. Later, I stopped working overtime and drank less beer. By June of this year, after a normal blood test during a voluntary blood donation, about 10 days after the donation, I got drunk once around late June. Of course, I also drink a little bit of alcohol regularly because my tolerance is good—about a liter of baijiu (strong white wine) can get me drunk, and I rarely get drunk now.Health check in late September: [total bilirubin 27.3][aspartate aminotransferase 49.4][indirect bilirubin 23.8]/alanine aminotransferase 92.5[glutamyl transaminase 103.9]. All other values are normal.
Hello, what illness could this be? What kind of tests and treatment are needed?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. In addition to liver diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, cirrhosis, and fatty liver, abnormal liver function can also be caused by excessive beer consumption, long-term beer drinking, poor rest for an extended period, severe colds, or myocarditis, among other factors. It is recommended to undergo elimination tests. Before that, it is necessary to use some traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine to reduce jaundice, lower enzyme levels, and protect the liver. This is essential. In addition to active treatment, liver patients also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this disease more quickly.
