A member asked:

What would a liver failure alt reading be, i har a alt of 139 and a fatty liver i'm just scared as it has jumped from 90 to this recently, ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't panic: I trust the other causes of fatty liver (hepatitis c, alcohol, a few meds, a few curious inborn errors fo metabolism) have been ruled out. If this is indeed the fatty liver as is seen in the metabolic syndrome, your alt's will fluctuate (they do even in health). If you're pursuing a fitness program (probably a good idea), alt is likely to rise early, then drop perhaps even into the healthy range.
