What does alt 139 mean had an ultrasound showed fatty liver no abnormalities but this has been rising for 8yrs starting to worry never normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Fatty liver changes can be a cause for abnormal liver function tests (alt, ast and others). Fatty liver changes can be due to obesity, medications, toxins, etc. It is an important medical problem that should be addressed.
