A member asked:
I took ibuprofen for teeth pain ..about 4 a day would this affect ast and alt levels ..alt is 83 and alt is 188 im 49 yo female?

Possibly.: That is a fairly low dose of ibuprofen- it could affect liver enzyme tests. Options include stopping the Ibuprofen and having the levels re-tested, or going ahead with additional testing now to look for other causes that can cause liver enzyme tests to be elevated.
