I'm really concerned about my ALTSGPT level, which is at 91.5. I've been taking liver supplements, eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and exercising regularly, but nothing seems to be working. Can you help me understand why it's still high and what else I might be missing in my approach?

While lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding alcohol, and staying hydrated can significantly improve liver health and help lower ALT levels, it is essential to identify the underlying cause with the help of your healthcare provider. Following a comprehensive treatment plan that includes the right medications, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments is key to managing liver function.

View allI'm really worried about my husband. He's 30 years old, with a height of 5.4 ft and weighs 64 kg. We stay in Germany, and he's been having a rough time with his health lately, especially with frequent gastric issues. His cholesterol levels have been all over the place. The first test showed a triglycerides level of 701, and even though it went down to 516 on the second test after three months, it's still pretty high, right? His HDL is at 21 and LDL at 46, with a Lipase of 46 UI and TSH at 1.22 microUml. Are these numbers something we should be concerned about? What could be causing these gastric problems? We really need some guidance on what steps to take next.
Based on the information provided, your husband's high triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol levels may be contributing to his gastric issues. To help manage his triglyceride levels, he can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, to improve his HDL levels, he can take Niacin 500mg once daily. For his gastric issues, he can take Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. It is also important for him to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and to engage in regular physical activity to improve his overall lipid profile and gastric health.

Is it possible that my liver might be damaged? How can I bring it back to a normal range? I'm not someone who drinks alcohol, but I have put on some weight since getting married about a year and a half ago. I'm feeling a bit anxious about this. Can you help me out?
-It's understandable to be concerned, but liver enzyme levels can rise due to various factors, including weight gain. Since you're not an alcoholic, focus on adopting a healthy diet, exercising, and managing your weight. It's always a good idea to follow

I've been dealing with acidity problems for the last 5 years, and it's been really tough. I get these severe stomach aches because of it, and they only seem to go away when I take medicine like meftal spas. I'm really looking for a more permanent solution for this. What can I do?
i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days.
