Experiences with

Alanine transaminase test (ALT)

i was started on methotrexate for a bad skin thing a few years ago, but the liver monitor went into the red, with the alt test result over 500, so that speed quickly. i hope the liver can handle steroids, because i really like putting my coat on myself. it's good to know you folks are here.

Everything ok with bloods, 2 weeks ago ast/alt was 24 for both. Recent blood test last week, ast is slightly higher than alt, although still in range. Is it serious?

So now how often should Albumin , Alk Phos , AST , ALT, PSA , or any other test for eg. , Heart , Bone Density etc . V.A. gave me a metabolic panel prior to ADT , all was good . . MO says just prior to next visit , which is 3 months away . I say sooner ? Thanks JJ

Had liver bloods and ALT was high at 150. Repeat test and ALT was 350.Refer to liver specialist, just had ultrasound which was unremarkable and had fibroscan yesterday which had fat at 160 and a kpa of 5.5 so that looks good too.

My ALT & Alk. Phos blood test have, ‘gone thru the roof’! I have been having monthly blood checks on the liver since April last year – numbers slowly reducing. My last monthly LFT was end of October, 2021 results being at the high end of normal - 44. GP thought a two-month gap would be OK.

A repeated blood test showed alt levels have risen in the past week by 30. Should I be panicking 😓

Hi has anyone had a raised alt level on liver function blood test? I had a mild HA in October with 1 stent. Have you found it has been to do with the statin? I've never drank or smoked.

Only issue is that the first monthly blood test shows my ALT liver test has increased from 17 to 68 U/L, which is slightly above the upper limit of 50.

I recently had a blood test which was normal apart for my serum alt which was 78 I also had a fit test which was normal

I had my first dose on feb 23rd and the first few days after treatment with no real issues, until, about day 4.

Hello all, I have a dilemma, and I would definitely appreciate any ideas that you might have. The dilemma is, will it be safe for me to start my initial Docetaxel treatments on Monday, 2-28-22, considering the new information I now have showing my PCa has rather dramatically spread to my liver. Below

I know there are lots of posts about the alt/ast ratio. I have spent more time than I care to admit reading about that damn ratio! I just wondered if anyone had any experience or educated opinions on an inverted ratio alongside low alk phos levels? I recently had bloodwork done and my AST was 21, ALT

Hi all, I had a heart attack in November 2021 and part of the cocktail of medications I was given was Atorvastatin 80mg one per night. Prior to my heart attack, in May 2021, I had an age related "MOT" including a liver function test. On that occasion my serum alanine aminotransferase levels were 17

1st, sorry this is long... Made my Mama's homemade Tamales! Where did I get the energy. You tell me. This past year has been strange. Got my vaccines and the booster. And after my 2nd vaccine I experienced about week of energy. It was weird. Told my hep about it. He shrugged his shoulders. I just enjoyed

This is due to high ALT, just had another blood test. I have not drunk any alcohol since I found out about this. Have I been a heavy drinker, well I didn't think so, but I did enjoy a drink, and I may have binged once or twice.

I have alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and my readings at my last blood test were... ALT 45 AST 34 Ratio 0.75 All within normal range(apparently).
