What Do These AST And ALT Values Indicate?

Question: My ast is 37 and alt is 74. 4 weeks ago these numbers were 48 and 86 so they are coming down. I drink 2 glasses of wine nightly and am stopping that effective today. Do you feel that it is reasonable to expect further reduction? I want to postpone an ultrasound if I reasonably can.
Brief Answer:
Yes, it will drop further with alcohol cessation!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I am glad to see that you are concerned about the XXXXXXX of your liver and taking immediate steps to address this. Congrats and this is a positive step. I will suggest you delay the testing and ultrasound by a further one month. This will at the same time capture what the effects of the alcohol cessation is. For sure, expect better numbers when next testing.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
