What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?
Question: My ALT levels have been constantly mildly elevated since 9/24/2016. The abnormal rates fluctuate, however. They have ranged from 68 to 103. For example, ALT results on 8/02/2017 were 93, but on 08/09/2017 were 78. My AST levels have been consistently mildly elevated since 9/20/2011. These abnormal rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 50 to 136. On 08/02/2017, AST results were 136 and on 08/09/2017, they were 114. Why do the ALT and AST results tend to fluctuate up and down? Could these results be an indication of anything besides a fatty liver, which I have. My Bilirubin results, Phosphatase results, and Albumin results have always been within the normal range.
Brief Answer:
Due to use of hepatotoxic drugs
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing this forum to post your query.
Firstly i am very sorry for your health conditions.
Secondly you are on a number of medications most of these medicines are metabolized and excreted by liver.Some of these medicines are ribosome stimulator these ribosome are integral part of every cell,However over stimulation of them cause increased secretion of enzymes.
For any clinical significance these enzymes should at least be three times the normal.
Mild variation of these enzymes in your case is likely due to use of toxic medications like Adderall XR lamotrigine paroxetine etc.
Suggestion as all scans are normal i don't think you should worry about mildly deranged enzymes level.
Start taking milk of thistle sylimarin once daily ,They are liver rejenuvators and would help to regenerate your liver.
Along with it take liv 52 ds tablet one tablet once daily.
Both of them are potent and natural liver rejenuvators and would rejenuvate your liver and help to counter the side effects of liver toxic medications you are on.
Thank you.
