Laboratory tests: Most tests from the er are done in the hospital's laboratory. Some tests that require very quick results are done in the er. Alcohol screening can be done in the er and confirmed in the laboratory.

I recently got a blood test done at an ER visit for acid reflux pain. I was high for AST and ALT levels. My ALT was 219 unit/L and AST 303 unit/L. I've never drank alcohol and am 5'2 and ~110 pounds. Should I bring this up with a gastroenterologist?
