Patient's question:
Today, when I went for a health check-up in the morning, the doctor told me that my ALT level for hepatitis C was high. If the ALT level is high, how can I lower it? I want to bring this ALT level down to a normal level and no longer keep it high.Doctor's answer:
Multiple occurrences of elevated liver enzymes indicate repeated liver function abnormalities. Repeated liver function abnormalities signify liver damage. In such cases, it is important to promptly take liver-protective medications for treatment. Cooperation during treatment is essential. Taking antiviral medications can enhance the effectiveness. After a period of treatment, follow-up tests are necessary. Avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy foods like chili peppers regularly to prevent the possibility of symptom relief.
