A member asked:
41 year old female and i have low alt and ast levels. and recent ultrasound shows spots on my liver. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver "spots" are: very common, and many times they are benign but without seeing the images I cannot make a diagnosis. Having low ALT and AST levels is generally good however, since they INCREASE with liver disease. Consider HealthTap Concierge for a review of your images and more specific recommendations.
