What Does ALT 68 And AST 54 Indicate?
Question: Liver test shows alt 68 and ast 54. What does this mean?
Brief Answer:
very mild hepatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Your liver enzymes are slightly raised, suggesting mild hepatitis.
This could be as a side effect of Dapsone you are taking.
Inform your physician about this on your next visit to him.
This levels are only slightly raised, and not a cause of worry but needs regular monitoring till you are on dapsone. No need to discontinue that at present. Discuss with your physician before making any changes to his prescription.
Hope I have been helpful.
