Elevated AST & ALT

JoyMrt5

I just had some routine bloodwork done and my AST and ALT levels are elevated. My primary dr ordered an ultrasound but it’s not for 2 weeks. I’m freaking out thinking about the possibility of it being liver mets. Any insight from anyone

Joy - there are a ton of recent threads about ALT levels. Check the 'search' function on the left.

There are many reasons these can be elevated. Hoping you get answers unrelated to cancer!

Hi Joy, do you have an update? Facing the same... what were your numbers?

You can google ALT and find out all the other possible diseases. Notably, liver disease. You need to ask your doctors what they are looking for.
