Raised liver enzyme levels (alt) again!!

I had the same issue on EC. I had stopped drinking coffee until I realised that the polyphenols in coffee can help with liver enzymes. I only had a couple of coffees a day. Its not a wonder cure, but it might help. Hope those enzymes settle really quickly for you.

I had low blood counts & high liver counts at various points throughout chemo.  I ate a tonne of kale, broccoli, spinach & beetroot - I also had a mango every day as I read these are supposed to be good especially for your liver - I managed to squeak through my chemo sessions.  I hope you can get back on track soon 

Yes i had read about coffee but it’s a good reminder - I will have a strong one now as being retested later this morning but I doubt they will have come down enough for treatment today. Thanks for replying.

I have been rocking it out on the spinach etc - basically green veg. I didn't’ know about mangos though. I really don't like mango but needs must and all that! Of course I am slightly concerned that spoiling liver enzymes mean something more sinister but trying not to go there!

Good luck today! I know how you feel re anxiety - my alt reading was 140ish before my last chemo - they still let me have it though as they said it wasn’t “dangerously high”.  

They said they would give it a chance to sort itself out after chemo & check me a few weeks later.  I had myself convinced it was something sinister but when levels were checked again, it had gone right down to normal levels - Chemo makes your liver work very hard but it will recover.

Best wishes for today 

Thanks - just had the call to say treatment can go ahead this afternoon! Dreading the big freeze! - scalp - hands and feet but will try my best to bash it out! Thanks for replies guys - somehow feels less daunting with you on side. Have treated myself to two coffees, a plate of beetroot and a spinach omelette today so far and it’s not even mid day!!

That’s great - hope it went well! Your liver was all primed ready for battle after all that liver friendly stuff  :) 

One down - 8 to go! Quite a tough day today but found the strength from somewhere - as you do . Now in bed with a glass of alcohol free beer (i know how to treat myself) and poly balm on nails. My how times have changed!
