Back in May alt 133 ast 55 then July alt 108 ast 50. Everything else okay.

Ultrasound told liver looked perfectly healthy.

Fibroscan I don't have the score to hand but told all fine and I was between f0 and f1 which i was told is good.

Still have raised alt and ast between 100 and 150 and ast around 50 to 55.

The only "symptoms" I get are upset stomach a couple of times a week which I have had for years. Cholesterol 7.7 despite low cholesterol diet and triglicerites are 5 which I am told is high.

I am overweight at 5 9 bloke and 16 stone 4..having dropped from 18 st 10 on 1 January amd working on another 1 and ahalf stone off but otherwise eat a good healthy diet and excercise.

Any thoughts on what could be causing raised alt ast levels? I am not much of a drinker and have maybe 4 to 5 pints a month.

It could be something simple like an infection.... Which makes the liver inflamed which causes raised levels, if your doctor /consultant isn't overly worried you shouldn't be. I would just knock the 4/5 pints you have off just until things settle down and congratulations on losing weight 🙂

Hi

We are not qualified to give medical advice on here and 're actively discouraged from quoting actual test results or asking for opinions on possible diagnosis.

Having said that we can reply based on personal experience and information picked up along the way.

I agree that it could be an infection or inflamation somewhere that is causing the problem but the person to ask is your doctor who ordered the tests.

Please try not to self-diagnose by using Dr Google as he is notorious for being very, very wrong.
