Dr. Jin Zhongkui
When elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels are detected, first, it is important to promptly improve lifestyle and dietary habits by avoiding prolonged熬夜 (staying up late) and excessive fatigue. Diet should be light, easily digestible, and rich in protein. Second, for elevated ALT caused by viral hepatitis or autoimmune liver disease, treatment with medications such as entecavir capsules and prednisone acetate tablets is recommended under medical guidance.
