Is ALT Level Of 52 A Cause For Concern?
I recently had a full blood count done due to feeling tired a lot. My blood results came back & I needed more doing for liver function. My liver ALT came back at 52, I am not a heavy drinker or take drugs etc. I m currently waiting for my results. I m very worried there s something seriously wrong, should I be? Thanks in advance.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Don't worry for this result
Liver enzymes elevation two times than normal is significant
I advise you to do following work up....
-CBC with PS examination
-USG abdomen
-Serum cholesterol and blood pressure measurement
-Serum bilirubin
According to your report further treatment If needed will be decided
Temporary viral infection or alcohol drinking can lead transient elevation
Repeat ALT after week and based on above report further plan decided
Physician consultation advisable for examination
