My AST is 51 & my ALT is 82.  My doctors nurse called me and said the doctor wants me to come in and talk about a liver biopsy.  I have an appointment for Dec. 2nd.  Should I see him sooner?  I am a 68 yr old female.  Had surgery for lip cancer in July, tooth pulled this past monday.  Blood tests were normal in May.
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have elevated liver enzymes...USG done. If fatty liver present then it can elevate. Second complete LFT profile with viral marker study done... If you have malabsorption syn Chat Doctor. If muscle problems or heart failure present then also yes enzymes can elevate...Finally, if above causes not present then biopsy done for final diagnosis. Doctor might suspect metastasis as you have positive cancer history... Hope your concern solved.... Take care...
