Patient: my brother  is 40 year old. 1 month ago his left temprol was bleed due to high blood pressure. effected area is 4x4 mm at left brain his right side hand and leg effected but little bit moving, memory 90% lost. since his suffering he has given bredin 30mg 4 time daily and capotin 25mg 3 times daily. as per doctors advise yesterday his blood test was taken and found abnormality in liver function test ALT 75 AST 62. has he effected with hepatice or not ? kindly confirm secondly what remedies can be given to him to reduce ALT AST level kindly advise Doctor: Hi.Thanks for posting query at HCM.Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal ( in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). "HepB and HepC should be ruled out".HepA is a self limited disease in most cases.Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further.Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease.advice :- abstinence from "Alcohol" - LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages- decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat- green vegetables should be ingested daily- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day- reduce weight if overweight/obese-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound.any further questions are welcomed.hope to answer your concern.wish you good health.regards,Dr Tayyab Malik
