[|Human|] I am a 55 years male with about 8 years of diabetes. Currently on 2000 mg diabex a day and one 10mg castor. Weighing 90kg and 1.72m tall. Work extremely long hours with at least 6 hrs a day in front of the computer. Used to be more than a medium alcohol drinker but has stopped completely for more than two years. I had a sudden increase in the ALT at the recent test done three weeks ago. It jumped from 29 to 41 U/L. I am booked for a US to check liver functionality. I realise that it might be early to make a judgement. But from you experience, could you kindly advise if this is a serious problem. Also would appreciate if you could advise if is it treatable.

[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your concern on Chat Doctor! I have gone through your case, since you have stopped taking alcohol for the past two years it looks unlikely that the raised enzymes are due to alcohol related liver injury. In view of your body weight, there may be a possibility of having fatty liver that might have caused the elevation of liver enzymes. So, get the ultrasound done to confirm or rule out the fatty liver. You have some sort of sedentary type of lifestyle which most time almost 6 hours you have to be seated in front of computer that also can cause an increase in body weight. You have to change your lifestyle, like go for daily walk for about 30 minutes, avoid consuming fast and junk foods, oily foods, eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits as they contain anti oxidants that will prevent the liver damage. Take care. Best regards!
