Not high: Those numbers may be technically "high" in the lab you're using but they're not of biologic importance, being normal in most labs or only slightly above normal. I suggest you avoid alcohol and repeat the test in a few weeks. Simvastatin can raise liver tests but they often return to normal with continued use and/or resolve with dose reduction-your doc can decide which is preferable.

31 yo male, just started zocor in Jan, on eliquis. WBC 3.9, RBC 3.94, HGB 11.5, HCT 34, PLT 110, MPV 10.9, AST 50. No symptoms, found on yearly labs. What could be the cause of the low numbers and high AST? All other labs normal. Should I be worried?

My ALT is 140, AST is 40, and Bilirubin is 0.3. I haven't spoken with my doctor because the results came directly from the lab. What does it mean if you have high ALT, but normal AST? I'm worried.
