Patient's question:
I am 33 years old, divorced for 6 years. Due to poverty in my childhood, I couldn't afford to go to school. I started working hard since I was 18. I work at a product company and have been doing relatively well in the company in recent years. However, the wine from the company's banquet made me get fatty liver disease early. When I checked, it was found that my ALT levels were high. I would like to ask what are the reasons for high ALT levels in fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Elevated transaminase levels are related to your deep sleep and diet. Drinking beer, staying up late, and poor sleep can all trigger high transaminase levels. Don't worry too much about it—just adjust your lifestyle accordingly, and it will improve.Fatty liver disease doesn't necessarily only affect obese people. It can also be caused by factors like drug use, lack of exercise, and consuming greasy foods, among others. Engage in more activity, eat less sugar, and reduce your intake of greasy foods, and you will recover completely.
High transaminase levels indicate not only fatty liver disease but may also suggest inflammation in liver cells. If liver cells are inflamed, we need to implement liver-protecting and anti-inflammatory treatment. If left untreated, the liver may progressively develop inflammation, pus formation, and fibrosis. If fatty liver disease progresses to liver inflammation, medication intervention is necessary.
