Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello there! I've just got my blood tests results today and it turns out that my GOT is 55, and GLT is 99. I'm 33, and i never felt my liver...I eat pretty healthy, and drink about 3 times per week wine (1-2 glasses) The rest looks like is into normal ranges...shall I be concerned?
Usually ALT or AST values/ liver enzyme higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal ( in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal).
Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease.
the slight elevated values in your case maybe due to alcohol consumption. your advised to quit or keep the consumption as low as possible.
hope to answer your concern regards Dr Tayyab Malik
