Any Nurses out there or anyone experience high Liver levels ?
Dr. didn't really give me an explanation, but said liver was high on blood work, last 2 times -
AST 106 normal is 9-40
ALT 113 normal is 5-40
I googled it and didn't find much...
T.I.A.

i have high levels....dr said its from fatty liver. However, i had a CAT scan and then an MRI (when that showed a hamangeoma I think) to see...and I'm supposed to go for another MRI since in my last pregnancy I developed Severe Preeclampsia and HELLP (failing liver etc.) syndrome. But I havent done it yet because I'm stupid. :) I would ask them whether or not they think you should at least get an initial scan to see if there's anything on your liver to be concerned about.

Re: Any Nurses out there or anyone experience high Liver levels ?
Could be from a gallbladder issue too
Could be fatty liver as well. Fatty liver is caused by many things but a main one is insulin resistance and also high sugar levels.
Have you had your sugar tested?

I was thinking gallbladder, had issues a few weeks ago and they went away quickly, few days, so I think it was just a stomach virus.
I do get checked for sugar - am Type 2 Diabetic - working on loosing weight and see what changes besides sugar levels.

Diabetes and fatty liver are definitely closely related so it could be that.
Diet is a big factor in treating it, so see what your doctor says

Pain under your right rib cage that radiates to your back/shoulder- especially after eating a high fat meal.
Also, less specific digestive problems like acid reflux, gas, nausea etc
