High AST level on latest LFT test

[danter]

Recent blood tests showed a higher than normal AST reading in LFT tests.

Anyone had similar readings and what are the implications etc? Is Ibrutinib a possible culprit as I've been taking it for almost 3 years.

How high is your AST? Have you started taking any other drugs or supplements recently? Your AST increase might be due to the Ibrutinib, but it's a rare occurrence.

Thanks for getting back to me Neil.

The AST was 39 (Normal is 10-35). Previous readings were 20, 18, 19.

I am diabetic but have been for 15 years!
