Had a medical checkup recently. ast and alt was 260 and 147 respectively. what can i do to lower this? can muscle ache after exercise cause that?

See details: First of all, one needs to determine the cause of the elevated values. The source could be either liver or muscle. Then one can determine the best therapy. You cannot do this by yourself. Speak with the doctor who ordered the tests.
