What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes?

Hi, I m a 51 year old male - I m running 25+ week, lifting 5 days, yoga, etc. I consume maybe 6 beers a week. I take daily vitamins, but absolutely no Advil, Tylennol, aspirin, etc. I just had my Cholesterol testing, it came back OK, but my Liver enzyme AST was a 65. I just went back this morning for a follow-up blood test and will get the results back within a week. Any thoughts as to why the elevated level.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have elevated liver enzyme SGPT.

Elevation of liver enzymes level seen in liver damage. It may be due to some viral infection, alcohol, drugs or toxins.

Your level is very slightly elevated so nothing to worry much about that. Just be relaxed. Just repeat liver enzymes level. Avoid alcohol and smoking.

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.
