Hello everyone,
I am 37 years old, I live in Canada and I have always exercised and never been overweigh.
In May 2018 I decided to do a full blood test just out of curiosity. The results showed slightly elevated AST and ALT (85 and 91). I got really worried as the doctor scared me telling me it could be cancer, cirrhosis, hepatitis B. I used to drink maybe 1 glass a week and have stopped completely since 2018. I have been vaccinated against Hepatitis B. The only thing I can remember is that prior to the test I had stopped going to the gym and was not disciplined with my eating.
1 month later, I do the ALT AST test and again, it is slightly elevated.
They send me to a gastrologist who touched the area of my liver and i had no pain and he said everything seemed fine. Sent me to do a fibroscan. Results came back saying I don't have cancer, I have some fat around the liver and possible scarring. The doctor tells me he doesn't think I have cirrhosis and that the results could be false. Asks me if I want to do a biopsy but for now I have declined as I am worried of the complications.
Since then I have been doing blood tests every 6 months, and everything is back to normal, actually the AST and ALT numbers keep improving each time. I am well within the limits and all the other blood tests are normal.
Is it possible that my elevated AST ALT in 2018 were a 1 time event and that a fibroscan might not be so reliable?
I feel great, have absolutely no symptoms, I exercise and eat healthy.
I am just very worried about the contradictions in the results.
Thank You
