I have a slightly enlarged liver according to an Ultrasound. Blood tests show an GPT/ALT as 62 where the normal max is 42. All other tests for the liver are in the norm. 6 moths ago the same blood tests showed also GPT/ALT as 58 and Gamma GT as 68 where the norm max is 53. If though Im on a diet, the liver is still enlarged. Sometimes theres a little pain in that area. What do you suggest?
Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). So you should NOT be worried. Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease. Advice for fatty liver:- abstinence from "Alcohol" - AVOID junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound. Any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good health. Regards, Chat Doctor.
