On a my last blood test my ALT level was 102 and my AST level was at 60. My previous blood test 7 months ago they were ALT 36 and AST 25. Is this a considered a huge change and what Could cause it? I don t drink alcohol. I also had an EKG done that came back abnormal, could That be part of the elevated levels?
HelloIncreased ALT and AST may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, viral markers, lipid profile, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg tablet twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. Since EKG is also abnormal, you may need detail cardiac evaluation. You may need TMT, ECHO etc. Treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
