A member asked:

High alt & ast on blood test, should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How high?: A common cause of elevated liver enzymes is use/abuse of alcohol. If you drink, stop entirely and get retested in three months. Other common causes are viral hepatitis, medication effects and heart failure. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/elevated-liver-enzymes/my00508.
