A member asked:
If meds caused elevated alt, is it possible that it could increase again begore finally decreasing? 1 wk after stopping 42 - 2wks 57 - 3wks 28.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Such very low level elevation could also be seen with just about any liver insult or illness. I personally would have a hard time blaming this on anything unless there were other symptoms to suggest a specific cause.
