Done Blood AST, ALT. Taken Wine, Acetaminophen. Stopped. How Long Will Be For Normal?
I am 55 years old female and recently had blood work done. My AST was 65 and ALT was 105. I had just come back from a vacation and was "cocktailing" every night. Wine only. I was also taking a sleep aid that unbeknownst to me contained acetaminophen. I would like to know how long it will take for my enzymes to return to normal after abstaining from all alcohol and no more acetaminophen.

Hi and welcome to HCM.
Considering your findings now it will be needed about 4-6 weeks till it normalizes. If elevation persist after this, you should do liver ultrasounds nad find some other causes of elevated liver enzymes.
Avoid alcohol, hepatotoxic drugs and food and I am sure everything will be fine. WIsh you good health.

According to your test reports, the enzymes are only mildly raised and it should not take not more than 4-5 days for the enzyme levels to come down. Also as you have taken acetaminophen which is strong confounder for the liver enzyme raise.
