Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How can I get my ALT down? My sodium levels are slightly low, my MPV is high. I had severe premature ventricular contractions and was diagnosed as Gerd and felt better with sucralfate. My TSH was slightly high 5.1. I m also diabetic. So how can I know that my liver isn t the main culprit and not my heart?

1.Exercising regularly. 2.Losing excess weight. 3.Increasing folic acid intake. 4.Making dietary changes. 5.Reducing high cholesterol with diet control and medications. 6.Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and environmental toxins. 7.Drinking coffee can help to lower ALT levels.
