Is AST Level Of 100 A Cause For Concern?

Your high AST may be due to alcohol, exercise or birth control pills.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your AST level is slightly high. AST is the liver enzyme and its level increase in liver cell damage by any cause. It can be due to alcohol, sub clinical viral infection or drug induced.
AST is also found in skeletal muscle. So its level can be increased by strenuous exercise.
You have history of alcohol, heavy exercise and taking birth control pill XXXXXXX
So any one of these can leads to high AST level.
However your other tests like ALT and bilirubin are normal so no need to big worry.No any treatment is required right now.
Just avoid all alcohol and heavy exercise. Your AST level will come down to normal within 4 weeks.
Repeat your AST level after 4 weeks. Then plan accordingly.
