Hi Sir, i am 29 years of age. weight = 116 KG, height = 5 ft 11 inches. my ALT and AST was 153 and 87 respectively. Also, i am type 2 diabetic. i want to take my ALT and AST levels to normal i.e. under 40 within a short period of time. Kindly suggest.
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. The cause of elevated liver enzymes in T2DM is fatty liver disease. Since your ALT is more than AST, I presume you are not an alcoholic and the elevated enzymes is due to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It can be confirmed with an ultrasound scan of the abdomen. You are also obese which is another risk factor for fatty liver. Liver function can be normalized with weight reduction and control of blood glucose. I hope that answers your question. Regards.
