What Does This Blood Test Finding Indicate?

I just had my lab result and it says: Protein, total, serum - 7.3 Albumin, serum - 4.8 Bilirubin total - 0.7 Bilirubin direct - 0.15 AST - 41 High ALT - 75 High All my hepatitis panel are Negative. What does the High level of AST & ALT mean. I have an appointment with my doctor but I can t wait to know what this levels mean. Thank you.

Hi,

The causes are:
* Metabolic syndrome
* Hepatitis
* Alcohol or drug use disorder
* Cirrhosis, which is liver tissue scarring

Other conditions that less commonly cause elevated liver enzymes include:
* Autoimmune hepatitis
* Celiac disease
* Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus, a type of herpes
* Liver cancer
* Hemochromatosis, when the body absorbs too much iron
* Mononucleosis
* Sepsis, or blood poisoning
* Wilson’s disease
* Polymyositis, or simple medicines pain meds etc.

Join 'Art of Living' OMBW. This course is very good for liver recovery as shown in some researches. Get a physician's opinion and treatment along with it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
