How long will alcohol affect liver enzymes?

I was looking this up recently because a friend had high SGPT levels. It seems even moderate alcohol can keep your enzymes elevated for 2 to 4 weeks. The consensus seems to be that a healthy liver recovery starts after a month of zero alcohol.

When I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, my liver enzymes were also elevated from regular alcohol use. It took me nearly two months of absolute abstinence and daily walks to bring them back to normal. Regular checkups are a must.

Don't trust those fancy detox tea ads on Instagram claiming to clean your liver in 3 days. Elevated liver enzymes need proper medical evaluation. Stop drinking entirely and get a proper LFT blood test done under a doctor's guidance.

I totally get it, seeing abnormal test results can be really scary and stressful. Usually, the liver is very good at healing if you give it a break. Just focus on eating clean, simple home food and avoid alcohol completely for a few weeks.

In my case, after I stopped drinking completely, my doctor repeated my LFT test after about six weeks. My SGOT and SGPT levels had dropped significantly by then. That was just my personal experience, so your timeline might vary.
