Can fatty liver disease cause elevated transaminase levels?
Disease description:
Recently, during a routine physical examination at the hospital, my father was found to have elevated serum transaminase levels. He has long been diagnosed with fatty liver disease—could this elevation be caused by his fatty liver?

Hello, individuals with fatty liver disease are prone to significant elevations in liver enzymes (transaminases). At this stage, lifestyle modifications become critically important. It is advisable to adopt a light, balanced diet rich in essential vitamins. Additionally, smoking cessation and abstinence from alcohol are strongly recommended to effectively stabilize transaminase levels. You may also consider drinking water infused with kudzu root and goji berries. Regular physical activity is equally important—aim for at least 20 minutes of exercise daily. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
