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.
My husband recent blood work showed elevated liver enzymes ALT 233 and AST 304. GGT was normal. He doesn t drink and has no symptoms associated with liver disease. He is very active and very healthy. He has, however, been taking SEVERAL supplements over the last 2 1/2 years. These are supplements for digestion which have worked quite well. Between his last normal blood work (August 2013) and now (October) he has introduced 4 other supplements. These are all prescribed by a doctor. The doctor has taken out the last 4 supplements and will do blood work again in about 1 month. We also have an ultrasound scheduled for 10/28/14 simply because we don t know what else to do. Any ideas or opinions or suggestions would be so appreciated. Thank you so much.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has elevated liver enzymes suggestive of liver damage by any mean. It can be due to hepatitis, alcohol, drugs or toxins.
He has no symptoms so chances of hepatitis are low. He don't take alcohol so it is out of question.
so high enzymes can be due to drugs or toxins. Avoid offending drugs and repeat test after a month.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
