High AST/ALT levels.

[xSunnysuex]

Hi. This is my first time here. 🤗My GP send me for an annual blood test.

My liver function test results are worrying me. My ALT level is 83. And my AST is 57.

Is this really bad? I have no idea. I had a message to book a telephone appointment to discuss the results. I couldn't get one for earlier than 3 weeks. Help! 😮🫣

Thank you!

Hi XSunnysuexYou may have I don't know ,

this is the group for fibromyalgia.

We can't give medical advice but can share our own experiences.

I have fluctuating liver results and have to give up stimulants like Tea,coffee and alcohol ,you could try that while you wait. When you get your call ask what action you can take long term.

Try not to worry and get the facts as soon as you can.

Look after you

Yes I too have fluctuating liver blood results and have had investigations which didn’t reveal anything so I’ve cut down on tea and coffee and try to eat more healthily

If it was really serious they would have got you in to see a Dr straight away. When my blood test results came back abnormal I was given an appointment within 2 days. It’s not worth worrying about as that would not help you. My motto is (Worry is like a rocking chair, you go back and forth and get nowhere). I hope this helps 😊

Have you had your thyroid checked? Often abnormal liver test results like these are common in those of us with hypothyroidism.

Thank you klr31 , I have not heard this but can say that my liver tests were all very elevated after having surgery in 94. I had hypothyroidism with goiters which 11yrs later turned into cancer resulting in a complete thyroidectomy. Oh I just thought of something else. Sjögren's Syndrome is something that is common with fibromyalgia. I was just tested for this haven’t received the results yet but remember this can effect kidney function levels which mine were low (receiving chronic renal disease stage 2 on my list of diagnosis) but has come back up to 76 (above 60 is normal). This could be a factor in the kidney levels being off(?) xSunnysuex . I haven’t fully researched Sjögren's yet because of feeling like a hypochondriac especially in the last 2yrs with these weird symptoms that have come above and beyond the normal fibro pain.
