Question: my ast is81 and my alt is 41....I am 26 and my other bloodwork is perfect...very much an athelete
Brief Answer:
Following causes to slightly elevated AST and ALT...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern.
Your case:
- 26 years old male
- AST = 81; ALT =41
- other blood work perfect
- very much an athlete
Now, the increase in AST and slightly in ALT could be explained in your case with possible recent:
- hepatitis?
- alcohol/any other drug use?
- strenuous athletic exercises before the testing?
If nothing, then, I advise to eat healthy, avoid fatty/high in calories food and repeat AST and ALT testing after 6 weeks to see if any difference. Meanwhile, I also recommend to run hepatitis testing and abdominal ultrasound for further evaluations now.
Hope this helps.
