Maybe: You'll want to rule out hepatitis B and C, Wilson's (unlikely with these low levels at your age but not to be missed), early hemochromatosis, and autoimmune hepatitis. Non-alcoholic fatty liver is mostly hereditary and should be sought as well. Stay proactive.

My doctor wants me to have my liver enzymes checked in 4 weeks AST was 54,ALT 21.ASP normal negative for HEP C, is 4 weeks long enough for AST to decrease? What can be done to lower AST? I dont drink alcohol or take Tylenol. BMI 22. All labs normal?
I got tested in the hospital and had high liver enzymes (200-300 ast&alt). Any suggestions on how to get them down safely? I stopped drinking alcohol.
Liver enzymes were normal in early April AST was 32, ALT was 28, at that time I was drinking maybe 4 or 5 pints of beer on weekends (no alcohol during week). Since then, I have had 5-8 pints per wknd...blood test in a week ..will liver levels rise?
Am 70 yrs. I never drink alcohol. No medicines. No hepatitis b or c. Liver enzymes sgpt , sgot, alkalibe, gamma are normal. Can I have liver cirosis?
I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?
