A member asked:
Will a doctor cancel my surgery if my ast and alt are elevated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe.: Online consultants will not be able to provide you with a precise answer. Much will depend on the cause of the enzyme elevation and exactly what procedure is planned. Generally speaking, elective surgery will likely be postponed until the cause of any “abnormality” is determined and the patient's situation optimized. Your surgeon will be able to address questions more precisely. Best wishes.
