i read that elevated liver enzymes can be due to a heart problem as well would that raise ALT?
or is it more likely i have a fatty liver...there are so many things i read and no real answer would it be higher than that if i had a heart problem or some sort of perm damage to my liver?
What is the most important constituent when it comes to bodily nutrition? It is of course food. Whatever we eat, at what time we eat and the quantity we eat really is really crucial considering the health of our liver. Since food also acts as a natural remedies for liver health, our diet should include only those foods which are able yo aid in the function of providing good quality blood as well Himalaya Liv 52as glucose. Foods, vegetable and a whole bunch of fibrous foods will aid in the proper functioning of the liver.
As for water, try to drink pure drinking water. The minimum you can do is to boil the water well for some minutes prior to drinking.
Try to avoid allopathic drugs as much as possible in order to save your poor liver. Resort to herbal even Ayurvedic medicinal treatments if you can avail them
so then what sort of Herbs should I try?.. I don't understand sorry.
I have already started a better diet mostly vegetables and fruits i have stopped drinking other stuff it is now only tea and water.
I can say that i am truly starting to feel better as well and sleeping better but i still wanna try to do all that i can to prevent anything from progressing.
You can't diagnose anything specific just on liver enzymes because there are a number of different things that can elevate them, so they're more of an indication that something is going and even the ratios between the different enzymes will vary depending on the cause. But with alt, you first want to eliminate the common causes, which are basically excess alcohol consumption, high fat diet and high cholesterol levels, medications that are processed by the liver. Your alt is slightly elevated so it would be more of an indication that the liver is under stress. Is your GGT elevated aswell?

no just ALT my HDL cholestrol was too low he said i think it was 33 my LDL was fine.
my glucose was 1 point over as well it was suppose to have a max range of like 99 and it was 100.
other than that he says my heart/lung sound fine but wants to get an EKG just incase but i can't afford it at the moment due to no insurance my kidneys are also fine.
He wants me to test again in 3 months but he did give me lisinopril-hctz for high blood pressure of which i take a potassium pill as well because i had swelling in my legs which is now controlled my average reading i am sending to him soon as he requested

i had started lisinopril-hctz with the potassium a month before the blood test. the test was on December 14th.
ok, so it's not alcohol or meds or chol. The only other suggestion I can make is if you have been eating a high fat and or high processed carb diet in the past that can elevate your alt, also if you are quite overweight, but if you have recently started eating healthier it wouldn't necessarily have come back down yet. I would keep up with the diet and get it retested in a few months to see if it comes down.
the glucose reading is interesting because normally if you have high glucose, even borderline, you'd expect your trigs to be elevated.
