Answer 1

ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) are enzymes made in the liver. They are also known as transaminases. The liver uses these enzymes to metabolize amino acids and to make proteins. When liver cells are damaged or dying, ALT and AST leak into the bloodstream.


Many different things can cause liver enzymes to rise above normal levels:

Viral hepatitis
Excessive alcohol intake/Alcoholic liver disease
Liver inflammation from medications such as overdose of Acetaminophen ( Tylenol) and certain herbs,
Auto-immune hepatitis - a condition where a person's immune system mistakes the liver for an invader and attacks it,
Fatty liver- fat build -up in liver cells, called steatohepatitis when the fatty liver is inflammed - NASH
Inherited liver diseases
Liver tumors
Heart failure
Inflammation in the liver or gallbladder
Gallstones


Freq causes of fatty liver are Diabetes, Obesity and alcohol abuse.




ALT (also called alanine aminotransferase or SGPT) is found in the liver only. High levels of ALT in the bloodstream mean that there may be liver inflammation and/or damage. This test cannot predict liver damage or disease progression. It is simply a direct measurement of the amount of ALT in the person's bloodstream at the time of the test. The normal range of ALT levels is between 5 IU/L to 60 IU/L (International Units per Liter). ALT levels in people with HCV often rise and fall over time, so additional testing such as HCV RNA, HCV genotyping and a liver biopsy may be needed to help determine the cause and extent of liver damage.

AST (also called aspartate aminotransferase or SGOT) is found in other organs besides the liver. High AST levels in the bloodstream can be a sign of liver trouble. AST testing measures the level of AST in a person's bloodstream at a given time. The normal range for AST levels in the bloodstream are 5 IU/L to 43 IU/L. Like ALT levels, AST levels in people with HCV often vary over time and can't be used to forecast disease progression or specifically measure liver damage.


NASH is more formally known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in medical circles. When NASH is present, the liver accumulates too much fat, which can ultimately lead to inflammation, scarring and, in some cases, liver failure


Risk factors for NASH include genetic factors, obesity, high blood fats, low magnesium levels, too much iron in the body and diabetes or insulin resistance.


It is the pattern of these tests' results that are used to determine how the liver is functioning, and what may be causing any problems. Don't hesitate to talk to your physician about any tests that are done, or to ask what they are being used for, (monitoring or diagnosing) what the results are, and how those results are being interpreted


Lifestyle strategies that make cells more receptive to insulin -- including weight loss, daily exercise and a reduced calorie diet with moderate amounts of good quality carbohydrates -- are core elements for treating NASH.

Answer 5

Fatty liver disease affects a whopping 30% of the population. That's 30 out of every 100 people! And some estimates have it at 33%.

And if you're overweight, it's even worse overweight people are extremely more likely than healthy weight individuals to develop this condition.

In other words, you're not alone. Not by a long shot.

Other fatty liver sufferers have reversed their condition, lost weight, and rediscovered their energy, using completely natural remedies. And that means you can, too!

Plan your dishes to add in healthy carbs such as lovely potato and wholegrain pasta, green vegetables and lean proteins, buy all the ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to consume out or order in.
