Hi thanks for contacting HCM..

Noted you have elevated alt.
So first find out cause for its elevation.
When hepatocytes damaged, enzyme liberated In blood and so elevated level....

You have prescribed ursodeoxycholic acid ..
It will help in dissolving cholesterol in bile.
So you might have fatty liver or gall stone.
USG , liver enzymes study, viral marker study will be helpful to investigate ......

For improvemet take low fat diet....
Refined food avoided.
Fruits taken more like papaiya , apple etc.
Green leafy salad more.
Avoid alcohol..
Non veg , junk foods avoided.

If obese loose weight by exercise...

If you have hepatitis then one tsp licorice with hobey can be taken.....

Take care....
Follow up to gastroenterologist after completing urso deoxycholic acid for 2 week.
