Is 70 a high ALT level?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Usually, the upper limit of ALT is 35 - 40 U/L. Moderate increase in ALT (such as 70 U/L) is seen in chronic hepatitis, chronic obstruction of bile ducts, heart damage, alcohol abuse, liver tumor, skeletal muscle damage. In any acute liver conditions, ALT is much more elevated.

For your ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) level of 70, here are the key points to understand:
-
Normal ALT Range: Typically, normal ALT values for adult males range from about 7 to 56 units per liter (U/L), but this can vary slightly depending on the lab.
-
Interpretation of 70: A value of 70 is mildly elevated above the usual upper limit.
-
Possible Causes: Mild elevation can be due to various reasons such as liver inflammation, fatty liver, medication effects, or other liver-related conditions.
-
Next Steps: It is important to discuss this result with your healthcare provider who may recommend further evaluation or monitoring based on your overall health and symptoms.
-
Lifestyle Considerations: Avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing other health conditions can help support liver health.
If you have any symptoms or other health concerns, please share them with your doctor for a comprehensive assessment.

View allI'm experiencing upper abdomen pain and loose motions, and my family doctor said it might be because of the augmentin 625 tablets I'm taking. I started using BIFILAC as he suggested, and it worked, but whenever I stop taking it, the loose motions come back. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm new to Bangalore, and I'm wondering if it's the change in food that's causing this. Could you help me figure out what's happening?
Continue probiotics to help restore your gut balance. Make dietary changes to suit your stomach. Drink enough fluids and avoid dehydration. Consult with a gastroenterologist for a thorough check-up and to rule out any infections or food sensitivities

I just ate a mango and then realized I accidentally consumed 23 small white worms. I'm a bit worried now. Should I be concerned about any health issues from ingesting them? Is there anything specific I should do or keep an eye out for after this?
Ingesting small white worms while eating a mango is generally not a cause for immediate concern, as these are likely fruit flies or larvae that may be present in the fruit. However, its advisable to monitor for any signs of discomfort, like stomach pain or nausea. If any symptoms develop, it's best to consult a doctor for further advice.

My mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?
For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.
