How can I normalize the level of liver enzymes?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have undergone routine CBC, LFT and pancreatic test. In the report, I can see some enzymes are high. I do not have any fever or other symptoms. I often smoke and drink. I have started Alpha-Liv syrup. How can I bring the higher level to normal? Should I take any medicine?

Hi,

You do not need any medicines for these raise in enzyme levels. I would recommend you strongly to stop alcohol consumption and within a month, your enzymes would return to normal levels.

For further information consult a medical gastroenterologist online.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I searched on the internet and got to know that rise in SGOT and SGPT is a sign of liver damage. What shall I do?

Answered by Dr. Anshul Varshney

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, this is a matter of concern. But, what is the treatment? The treatment is to eliminate the cause and then the liver can recover from the damage.

So, you should stop alcohol to avoid further damage and let the liver recover from existing damages.

Only one drug can be used that is Ursodeoxycholic acid. However, the most important thing is to stop alcohol consumption.

For further information consult a medical gastroenterologist online.
