A member asked:

If you had consumed a large amount of alcohol just prior to having a liver function test, would the results likely be affected by this? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liver functions: Large amounts of alcohol will cause a temporary rise in AST and ALT that usually resolves within a week of not drinking. If liver tests are still elevated, usually an ultrasound and blood tests for hepatitis are done.
