1(800) 615-1067Yes, stopping drinking can help to lower liver enzymes in some individuals. Liver enzymes are proteins that help to process and break down substances in the liver. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver damage and inflammation, which can cause elevated liver enzymes such as alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST).
By quitting drinking, individuals can reduce their overall risk of liver damage and inflammation, which may lead to improved liver function and lower liver enzyme levels over time. However, it is important to note that the extent of liver enzyme reduction and the potential for overall liver health improvement may depend on a variety of factors, including the individual’s overall health, duration and severity of alcohol abuse, and any underlying liver disease or health conditions.
If you are concerned about your liver health or are struggling with alcohol abuse, it is recommended that you seek professional medical advice and support to address substance use disorders and any related health or social issues.
