Have Blood Tests Report. Can Any Online Doctor Help?
4 months since an aortic valve replacement along with CABGx5. Recent blood tests show ALK of 139, ALT of 65, and AST of 43. Could any of these high readings be a result of the past surgery? My family doctor wants to have an ultra sound done of my liver and abdomen.

Hi,
I read your query and would like to say that yes this readings may be related with the past intervention.
But to determine this you should perform an abdominal ultrasound, HBsAg ant-HCV (to rule out any hepatic problem) and a heart echo (to rule out heart failure).
Hope I answered to your query.
