How to treat high AST?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? How should I treat high aspartate aminotransferase?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your ALT and AST levels are elevated, indicating abnormal liver function and liver cell damage. The reasons for the increase in transaminase levels are usually viral hepatitis, fatty liver, or alcoholic hepatitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant auxiliary tests to confirm the cause. You can have an ultrasound of the liver and gallbladder, as well as tests for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, and hepatitis C virus antibody.
