Elevated transaminase levels usually indicate potential liver problems, such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, or excessive alcohol consumption. Rapidly lowering transaminase levels requires a combination of the following measures:
1. Adjust lifestyle habits: Avoid alcohol consumption, control body weight, maintain regular sleep patterns, and engage in moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, to improve liver function.
2. Dietary modifications: Choose low-fat, high-protein foods rich in vitamins, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid oily, spicy, and processed foods to reduce the burden on the liver.
3. Medication therapy: If elevated transaminase levels are caused by a specific condition, such as viral hepatitis, antiviral drugs may be required; for fatty liver disease, lipid-lowering medications might be needed. Always use medications under medical supervision and avoid self-medication.
4. Regular monitoring: Regularly check liver function to monitor transaminase levels and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
Lowering transaminase levels is a gradual process that requires time and persistence. The key is identifying the underlying cause of the elevation and implementing targeted treatment. While making lifestyle adjustments, always follow the guidance of a healthcare professional.
