A member asked:

Frequent urination/ soreness in legs. test showed ast levels were triple normal. alt were 13 pts above normal. dr wants to wait mth to retest? agree?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes retest: Yes, please retest. There are common occasions when blood test results come what is called falsely positive (abnormal results in the absence of a disease) or transient abnormality. I usually send blood to another lab for confirmation, and if then it comes abnormal you have to do a work up.
