I just sent you the complete blood test
Brief Answer:
High blood sugar &cholesterol levels to reduce
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for providing the requested information.
I have gone through your lab reports and noted as following :
- your blood sugar levels were slightly elevated
- your cholesterol levels were high too.
Both high blood sugar and cholesterol levels might be possible causes to increased AST level . However, I still think that your AST level is not as high as to get too much worried.
I think you might have first stage fatty liver as per your bs and cholesterol levels. Abdominal ultrasound will help determine it.
Hope it was of help!
