Hansani, 28, experienced severe abdominal pain, jaundice, and yellow eyes; tests revealed liver enzymes 70 times higher than normal due to an acute hepatitis A virus infection.
I had a routine health check-up, and my liver enzyme test showed a slight increase (ALT 78 U/L, AST 52 U/L), but I have no other symptoms. Do I have hepatitis? (Trong Nghia, 47 years old, Hanoi)
Hepatitis viruses, fatty liver, excessive alcohol consumption, or medication side effects can all increase pressure on the liver, leading to elevated liver enzymes.
Huyen My, 32, from Quang Ninh, recently discovered slightly elevated liver enzymes (AST, ALT 50-80 U/L) during a health check-up. She asks if dietary adjustments and abstaining from alcohol can help lower these levels.
