Elevated alt over 370
by Kinsey22, Jun 19, 2008 11:22AM
7 year old, obese boy no complaints; found elevated alt on routine physical, repeated twice in 6 weeks; down from over 600 to 374. Child suspected but not confirmed to be high functioning autism. Family history of several auto immune diseases. Biopsy for fatty liver scheduled tomorrow but doc says these numbers do not really correspond with fatty liver -- too high for that dx. Been told correlation between high alts and autism. Only findings that suggest that have been health food sites. Anything else out there that is more reliable?

In fact, the easiest method is combining suitable diet and moderate sports with internal medicine therapy. Be clear with the pathogeny and take corresponding measures. Reducing alcohol use can improve fatty liver due to alcohol toxicity. Controlling blood sugar may reduce the severity of fatty liver in patients with diabetes. Increasing nutrition can help fatty liver caused by malalnutrition. Anyway, eliminating the basic reason is helpful for curing fatty liver.
Second, to make a healthy, well balanced diet structure. Eating more foods with high protein, high vitamin, low sugar and low fat like vegetable, fruits, lean meat, river fish and bean products etc. Get rid of the bad habits like often have animal fat, desserts and sweet soft drink to decrease the total energy. No snacks and eating nothing before sleep are also necessary.
Furthermore, taking more appropriate sports to promote the internal fat consumption. Running at least six kilometers per day is beneficial to lose weight. Sit-ups and bodybuilding exercises are also useful.
Fatty liver is not awful as someone’s imagination. Early identification and treatment of fatty liver can increase the cure rate and no sequelae. We have to notice that the prevention of fatty liver should start from kids.
Although the liver cells of fatty liver patients are not attacked by virus, it is usually abnormal, the value of GPT（ALT）and GOT（AST）of patients may goes up. For most of patients, value of GPT（ALT）and GOT（AST）will go back to normal range after taking YHK for about 10 days. Only seldom patient’s value of GPT（ALT）and GOT（AST）get to normal level after taking YHK for 20 to 30 days.
YHK can get the liver function right and delay the worsening of disease farthest, offering favorable conditions for treatment of fatty liver.
Hope all of these info is helpful for you.
