What Precautions To Be Taken To Lower Liver Enzymes?

I am 35 yrs old and just found out that my blood tests revealed liver enzymes of 241- I do like to drink, but am not an alcoholic, and do not drink every day. How good are my chances of lowering these enzyme levels to within normal limits? will I have liver disease for the rest of my life, or will it resolve?

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
Elevation of liver enzymes suggest injury to liver cells.There are many other causes for elevation of liver enzymes apart from alcohol intake like Hepatitis B and C virus, wilson disease, autoimmune liver disease for which you need to be tested. So you may visit your doctor for these tests.
Also meanwhile what you should do is:
1. Avoid alcohol
2. If you are overweight or obese then do weight reduction by diet and exercise
3. take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300mg tds and Cap evion 400mg od
