I am 63 and my AST and ALT have been 50 and 80 respectively for over 10 years.  I quit drinking alcohol 6 yrs ago and work out daily (still lightly overweight).  I do not take pain medicine.  I don't have any of the symptoms.  I go to the dr annually.  Is there anything I should do?

Comments

I guess your doctor have excluded other common disease cause AST/ALT rise, like viral hepatitis , autoimmune hepatitis and others . you just go to the dr annually.

Answer 7

My liver SGOT/AST has been slightly elevated for several years my latest they tell me is improving. Number is 66. But nobody tells me what any if this means. The only thing I've notably changed is my protein intake. I drink a beer now and then. I'm 59 years old.

Comments

Dear, don't worry, it usually makes sense for AST to be 2 to 3 times higher than normal. Your level does not explain any problems. But if you continue to drink, AST may continue to rise, and you may get sick by then, so I suggest you drink less.

Answer 8

my AST is 67 is that bad?

Comments

it's a little high. if the ALT is  ok,don't worry too much. Besides, have you take drugs can lead to this? have a blood test to check out HBV and HCV. If no HBV and HCV, it's ok. check out AST 3 months later.

Answer 9

My alt is 114 and my ast is 71, what does this mean?

Comments

It means your liver has been impaired. you should see a doctor and find out the cause of this.

Answer 10

In December my AST/SGOT was 954 and my ALT/SGPT was 211. I was told I have cirrhosis of the liver but most likely not due to medications or alcohol. I just turned 39 and I’ve never been a drinker, however I have been on various medications for health issues. How common is it caused by a congenital condition?

Comments

there is a small chance of congenital condition，such as hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease， primary biliary cirrhosis（ intrahepatic cholestasis). have you tested hepatitis virus infection. it is also a common cause for cirrhosis .
