Elevated Liver Enzymes

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

Does anyone have suggestions for lowering elevated liver enzymes (specifically ALT)? I have treated patients with this but have never directly been able to observe whether treatment or specific point combinations have been responsible for lowering them. The elevated ALT is secondary to use of medications. The meds have since been decreased but ALT remains elevated. Any suggestions are welcome (acupuncture, diet, etc.).

Thanks

If the patient has HBV, only lower the ALT is just for sideway treatment, you can use points: Lv3, Li4, Ub18,19, Ren4,6,12, St36, Sp6, Kd3, etc, and the herbal tea "Ji Gu Cao Chong Ji" also can lower ALT.
