Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted your alt level elevated...
It is high when hepatocytes get damaged or there is fat accumulation within it that is fatty liver....

So USG is to be done.Let's see report of USG...

The drug that is useful is ursodeoxycholic acid that help in dissolving cholesterol in bile....
Vitamin supplement also useful.
So the response will depend on cause.
If hepatitis A it will resolve with the time....

For fatty liver low fat taken with more fruits and green leafy vegetables.....

Cumin seed with water is herbal remedy that can help in hepatitis.

Hope your concern solved.....

Take care.
