What Do AST Level Of 82 And ALT Level Of 137 Indicate?

default
Posted on Tue, 2 Feb 2016
Question: Dear Doctor,

I am 58 yrs old. Recent Test showed my AST 82 ALT 137 ALP 128 Birubin Total 0.30 (.Dir 20 +Indir 10). Doctor has prescribed Udiliv 300 for one month.

Is this medicine okay?

Why did I get abnormal AST and ALT?

I do not take alcohol. My fat intake is moderate.

Tests 15 days back showed my Blood Sugar Fasting 150, PP 253. In earlier tests, a couple of years back. I had normal sugar level.

I take the following medicines: Glimepiride and Metformin (since last 15 days for sugar), Telsite 40 (for BP 1 tab daily, regularly), Multivite CD 15, regularly, Retinox (for eyes, since three months).

Is it possible that my high blood sugar, or the medicines I take, caused abnormal AST and ALT in me.

Please advise,

Thanks,
XXXX
