Need to find cause: I'm trusting this is not a medication allergy. You'll probably get labs for hepatitis b, c, hemochromatosis, wilson's, and maybe autoimmune hepatitis. If none is present, this may simply be "non-alcoholic fatty liver", which may be your body's telling you that it wants a lot more exercise. Regadless, think about going back to the lifestyle of a teenaged fitness buff. Best wishes.

I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?
Doc Thoughts on these liver numbers? SGOT(AST) 41 UL in July , 400 UL in Dec. And SGPT (ALT) 79 in July 1000 in Dec. No pain no signs of liver disease, All seems well. May go for ultrasound. Active Marijuana user but No alcohol. Drinks lot of water?
