Hi,

Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease.

Advice :

- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages
- Decreased oil consumption (oily food)
- NO red meat
- Green vegetables should be ingested daily
- Use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- Reduce weight if overweight/obese
-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound.

Hope to answer your concern. Any further questions are welcome.

Regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
