hi,  My name is laurie, im 56 healthy x-forces, given body quite a hard time over the years. so close to emmigrating to New Zealand, past both medicals, company and immigration stipulated doctor. my medical has been pulled by an assessor wanting more information of 3 old injurys but mainly a further liver blood test. My own GP and the immigration doctor are both astounded as they have both passed and signed off my levels. My GP has tested my liver in 08 and 09 and although raised, he is happy. The immigration lab test showed aspartate transferase at 43 and alanine tranferase at 65 also gamma gt was 71. I am a drinker, drinking every night, about 50-60 units a week, especially this past 12 months due to job and life stresses.  My question, I have stopped drinking imidiently and will not touch alcohol untill this is resolved, i do have that disiplin. i have to have blood tests again. how can i improve my chances of dropping the high figures in the next 7-10 days? i do have up to 3 weeks, but that is too close to call in keeping the job available as if i fail, i have to have a report from a specialist by the 31st of jan. thanks very much laurie
Hi.thanks for posting query at ChatDoctorUsually ALT or AST values higher than \"two times the upper normal limit\", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease.advice
