A member asked:
Can iron deficiency anemia cause elevated ast and alt liver enzymes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not per se: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, uncomplicated iron deficiency would not alter liver enzymes. Wish you good health!
