A member asked:
I recently went to a dermatologist due to itching, i had a blood test and my ast came back "high" at 41 and my alt "high" at 56. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow it up: These are borderline-high liver enzymes. It may be nothing more serious than your being sensitive to Ibuprofen or another medicine you took, only you know if you drink a lot, and we need to rule out metabolic syndrome, a chronic hepatitis, hemochromatosis, wilson's, and a couple of others.
