Suggest Treatment For Elevated Liver Enzymes

Hi, what would cause my liver enzymes to be elevated? My AST is 44, my ALT is 65 ... i don t drink more than the occasional glass of wine, and haven t had any painkillers (tylenol, etc) for several weeks. I DO take a baby aspirin every day - would that cause it? I also take medication for MS. Thanks!

Alcoholic hepatitis is one of the major reasons of deranged liver function tests. Liver enzymes get deranged due to the injury to the liver tissue.

Alcohol is the poison for liver and a slow killer. Avoid taking alcohol as this is necessary to save you from liver failure. The first step to get out of a dig is to stop digging.

Take good amounts of green leafy vegetables like spinach and broccoli in diet, Salads, fruits like oranges, avocado, pineapple, coconut water, dry fruits, blueberries, dairy products are all good antioxidants and supports liver wellness.
