Exercise

[DiamondSparkles]

Hi all, I'm due for repeat liver enzyme tests next week for slightly elevated GGT and ALT, I've stopped drinking since Feb ( apart from a beer last weekend) and I've started weight training at the gym. I'm starting to lose weight but I've read weight training can cause elevated liver enzymes and to not exercise for a week before your test? Can anyone confirm this please?

Hello, my ALT AST are elevated on and off for past four years. I run a lot and I wonder just as you do whether excessive running exercise might cause this?
