Suggest Treatment For Elevated Liver Enzymes
Hello, I was just receive blood work with my liver enzymes elevated. ATL 129 and AST 100. My Alkaline Phosphates, Albinum and Bilirubin are all normal. I have not received blood work since 2012. Since that time I began taking Melatonin nightly. Could this effect enzyme levels?

Welcome at HCM...
I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns..
Based upon the history you have provided in my opinion you should seek medical opinion from hepatoligist since elevated liver enzymes occur in variety of cases...
Have you ever screened for hcv or hbv?? Do you drink alcohol?? Have you ever done your serum iron levels or copper levels?!are you jaundiced? Have you done your liver ultrasound??
Proper workup should be done to find the exact cause...
Meanwhile take rest and continue with your routine chores...
