A member asked:

How do i lower alt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to determine: Cause all lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. Common causes of elevated alt are alcohol intake, hepatitis c infection, medication side effects and liver cell necrosis. If you drink, stop entirely for three months. Do not take acetaminophen/tylenol.
