For me, my higher than normal liver function tests revealed a silent problem that was going on. My ALT and AST started getting out of range growing higher each year (Over a three year period by the lab work results). My ALT hit 153 and AST was 88. ALT by the chart was over 113 past normal and AST was 40 points over. So what was causing my Liver to start hitting the panic button??? Well, an ultrasound of the liver showed the Renal Cell Carcinoma that was growing on my right kidney. MRI showed the tumor growing on my left kidney. From what I have read, the ALT enzyme reacts when the RCC gets into the renal artery. Well, two surgeries later, loss of right kidney and a piece of my left my numbers are back in range. I was in good shape, non-drinker, non-smoker, exercised everyday. If your numbers are getting out of whack and your Dr's tell you to stop eating fast food (That's what the dude told me, turned out to be Cancer) just make sure to keep looking at the problem. My bad Liver Function tests saved my life because I kept trying to find out why it was bad and I indeed found out why.

My Urologist said that if the tumors would have been reversed, the Ultrasound on my liver would not have seen the tumors and I would not have made 60. I was 46 when we found RCC Stage 2.

Seems way too dramatic bearing in mind everyone often has raised alt.... with every course of pain killers, pub visit, protein shakes use, junk food lifestyle and many passing infections. None of these raises represent liver damage... so maybe remove the damage and put back the function where it belongs

Hight GGT only is : Auto brewery syndrome is also known as gut fermentation syndrome and endogenous ethanol fermentation. It's sometimes called “drunkenness disease.” This rare condition makes you intoxicated - drunk - without drinking alcohol. This happens when your body turns sugary and starchy foods (carbohydrates) into alcohol.

So with a small raise in GGT on blood test but all others are fine is most likely cause I drank a shit ton of alcohol 4 days before during a crazy weekend?

Great analysis but i suggest you to use better microphone for sound quality

My alt is 20 and my ast is 20. This is the second time they have been the same. Is the ratio important to look at? My ALP is within normal limits and my doctor didn't comment on it so I don't know if I should bring it up. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver in the past with NASH 1 but I lost about 50 lbs since then but gaining 15 back. My last CT Scan did not show fatty liver so I am just concerned about the ratio since my 15 lb gain.

Did you get the answer for your concern?..I also want to know whether the ratio is important or the values of AST and ALT are important.

Wishing you had included a low ALP result. Otherwise, great information.

Tacky tutorials Can the DTaP shot raise AST if given directly before blood work?

my blood tests came back and everything was good except my ALP was very low - what does this mean? The lab did not explain anything. Can this be the reason for Rosacea and/or weight gain? My AST and ALT were normal

What about alkaline phosphatase at first test 182 now 211, 5 weeks later and alt at 48? Thoughts? Everything else seems to be good

Upon getting my Bloom simple tests results.....de hace discovered i am experiencing "LowLevels of GamaGlutamylTransferase" I am uncertain what that implies....i do know i am experiencing VeryLowEnergyLevels????

My ast level is 36 and alt is 18 , but ast alt ratio is 2 , is there any problem?

i am hep b patient what test results interpret that i am in danger or out of danger?

On the 19th day i had a new blood work and it showes all enzymes decreased drastically and it is not too far from highs normal levels. Thats being said bilirubin kept increasing and hit 125 umol/l while it was 77 in the first blood work. I am feeling much better but still cant eat normally because i get uncomfortable feelings in my guts Any ideas?

@user-zl3xs1cf8x

It sounds like a bile duct blockage perhaps? Blocked by sludge. The bible ducts release bile that aids in helping to break down the food we eat so the stomach can digest it. If there's a slow down in bile production, then it effects how we digest food and can cause stomach pain, but if it's mainly the Alt that's elevated, it can often point to liver and the Ast can be liver but very high can point to the billery system. I'm not a doctor, but since I have chronic liver disease, I would naturally do the research. Your P.C.P should get you set up with a G.I./ heptology Doctor. It's not like you will get any answers on these sites from an actual Dr. As they hate to give info without running their exams on the patient first, and perhaps to even get in trouble hand out info. But again you should see a specialist being a G.I. / heptology, I would!! Good luck.🙏
