Is There Any Doctor Available To Analyse This Report?
Recent blood panel showed normal cholesterol levels, a triglyceride level of 313, an AST level of 49 and an ALT level of 96.
I was consuming 3 to 4 beers per week- 1 a day with dinner when I did drink. I indulged in too many cookies and cakes and cream in my coffee. I also pulled muscles in my back this summer doing yard work. Did the high fat diet and muscle strain injury cause the elevated ALT?
