Can A Reduced ALT And AST Level Mean The Fatty Liver Problem Is Solved ?

Hi,
Ultrasound showed fatty liver 2.5 years ago. Blood testes (Every 6 months) since then have been consistently showing high ALT, high ALT and high Ferretin levels which all points to fatty liver.
In the last 3 months I done a big effort and lost 5 kg. My ALT and AST are normal! ALT=25, AST=22, but ferretin is 665. Has been around the 600 mark since the first blood test.

I have the feeling my fatty liver is not fatty If I may say that as ALT and AST are back to normal, however I am cunfused why ferretin is still high. Would it drop after time or that means still my liver is still damaged?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have fatty liver problem in past. But now your AST and ALT levels are normal. SO don't worry about fatty liver. It is normal now. Your ferritin level is high. But it is acute phase protein. So ferritin level is increased in any inflammatory condition also. you should check your serum iron level once.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
