\n<\/span>AST is an enzyme which is found in the liver, as well as in muscles, the heart, the kidneys, and other organs.
\n<\/span>After work out AST will go up.
\n<\/span>Higher number indicates Inflammation, resulting in cirrhosis of liver or fatty liver.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>ALT is an enzyme found mostly in the liver: its number is the liver specific.
\n<\/span>Higher number indicates the damage to liver cells that leads to liver dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Lower than 30, or up to 40 to 50 is a border line.
\n<\/span>Over 100, definitely see a doctor<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Be BMI and excess intake of alcohol.
\n<\/span>Instead of taking drugs to reduce the levels, consider why and how the numbers are high, and change your habit: drink less alcohol, avoid greasy fried foods, avoid chemical drugs that destroys liver cells, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Do light exercises.
\n<\/span>Do not keep the numbers high, try to reduce them under 30.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Fatty Liver may lead to cirrhosis and cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>1: store energy
\n<\/span>absorption of sugar from the intestine turns to glycogen in the liver
\n<\/span>2: detoxify
\n<\/span>3: makes bile then stores in the gallbladder<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Reduce triglyceride
\n<\/span>Increase good cholesterol: HDL, VLDL.
\n<\/span>Change diet
\n<\/span>No alcohol
\n<\/span>De-stress and sleep well<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Right side abdominal and under rib cage pain,
\n<\/span>Especially when the rib cage is pressed toward the liver by pushing with fingers.
\n<\/span>Nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss.
\n<\/span>Yellowish skin and eyes.
\n<\/span>Swollen abdomen and legs.
