How Norah Montes treated high alt sgpt?
Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with high alt sgpt.
My name is Norah Montes, and I'm in my mid-thirties. I'm committed to both my career and my family. Up until the diagnosis of elevated ALT (alanine transaminase) levels, my life had always been vibrant and full of enthusiasm. It served as a wake-up call, and with my family's unflinching support, I set out on a quest to lower my ALT levels to a healthy range.
I started having symptoms including constant exhaustion, sporadic stomach pain, and a general feeling of being sick. I initially dismissed these symptoms as the product of stress and a hectic work schedule. However, as the signs continued, I made the decision that it was time to see a doctor.
I talked to my doctor during my appointment about my worries and the symptoms I had been having. The physician listened carefully and suggested performing blood testing, including liver function tests. I was shocked to learn that the findings showed abnormal ALT levels, typically about 80.

It came as a shock to learn that my ALT levels were elevated. I had always placed a high value on eating sensibly, getting frequent exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It was confusing as to why, at such a young age, my liver enzymes were elevated.
My doctor informed me that additional research was required to identify the underlying cause because elevated ALT values could signify liver inflammation or damage. I further had a liver biopsy, an abdominal ultrasound, and a viral hepatitis screening.
The wait for the findings seemed endless and anxious-provoking. My family gave me unfailing support and encouragement during this trying period. They stood by my side, encouraging me and promising me that we would overcome any difficulties together.
My increased ALT levels were caused by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which was discovered after the results were received. Although receiving a diagnosis was a relief, it also meant that I had to drastically alter my lifestyle in order to better manage and control my disease.
My doctor emphasised that obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor nutritional choices are frequently linked to NAFLD. I had to change my lifestyle in order to reduce my ALT levels and strengthen the health of my liver. This includes reducing body weight, exercising frequently, and eating a balanced diet low in processed carbohydrates and saturated fats.
Accepting these adjustments wasn't simple, but having my family's support was quite helpful. They became my accountability partners as we both adopted healthier lifestyles. We started taking frequent family walks, cooking wholesome meals, and encouraging one another to make better decisions.
I also sought advice from a nutritionist, who worked with me to create a specialised eating plan that nourished my liver and promoted general wellbeing. I had to work hard and give it time, but eventually I started to see improvements. My energy levels increased, and the ache in my abdomen began to lessen.
There were obstacles along the way. There were times when I felt overpowered or inclined to go back to my old ways. My family, on the other hand, was always there to support me, offering unceasing encouragement, pointing out my accomplishments, and rejoicing in each minor success.
Regular check-ups with my doctor were essential to tracking my development. We may evaluate the success of the lifestyle changes and make any required adjustments through these meetings. To further maintain the function of my liver, the doctor additionally prescribed a number of drugs and nutritional supplements.
A better lifestyle, constant medical care, and my family's unwavering support throughout the years proved transformative. My ALT levels gradually dropped until they were back in a healthy range.
My general health and liver health both significantly improved as a result of controlling my elevated ALT levels. I had more vitality, felt more energised, and was better able to partake in the activities I liked.
My experience taught me the value of a strong support network and the strength of resiliency. It reaffirmed how important it is to prioritise your health, make wise decisions, and seek competent advice when dealing with health issues. I will always be appreciative of my family's constant support, which was crucial to my recovery.
I still put my health first today, constantly checking my ALT levels and keeping up a healthy lifestyle. My experience has motivated me to share my narrative in an effort to support and uplift individuals dealing with comparable difficulties. I have faith in my capacity to conquer any challenges life throws my way because of the unwavering love and support of my family.
