How can ALT levels be managed in cases of toxic exposure?
In cases of elevated ALT due to toxic exposure, the primary approach is to identify and eliminate the source of the toxin. Supportive care and medications to protect liver function, such as N-acetylcysteine for acetaminophen overdose, may be administered. Lifestyle modifications, including abstaining from alcohol and implementing a healthy diet, can also support liver health. Continuous monitoring of ALT and other liver function tests is crucial to assess the effectiveness of interventions and recovery progress.
