Suggest Treatment For An Elevated ALT And AST Levels In Blood
Question: Is it normal to have a high ALT and AST level in a person without a spleen?
Brief Answer:
No, they cannot be explained by lack of spleen!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these elevated values. They are clearly abnormal and are not explained by the lack of a spleen. For now, alcohol is the immediate culprit and I encourage you to significantly cut down on your consumption. We will then control these results in 2months following no alcohol consumption. If they stay abnormal, then you will need to see a gastroenterologist at that point. In most cases, they return to normal and staying away from alcohol is the solution. So, let's execute this plan and see what we get and where we go from there.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
