How To Reduce Liver Enzymes In Body?

My husband had a routine check up and his liver enzyme came back at 490. Tested for Hepititus and it s negative. He went back in for a re test and now it s 166. This was three days later, now they want a sonogram of his liver. What can he do to lower this event more? He doesn t drink but occasionally and stopped that couple months ago. Eats healthy and recently started working out at a gym.

Good morning
I am sorry to hear about his ill health
Elevated alt indicates liver problem and it can be due to drugs or fatty liver
So I would suggest to identify any such drug if any and stop it.
Fatty liver is commonly associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus which needs to be treated for reduction in liver enzymes
Hope this would answer your question
Wish him speedy recovery
