I have had 3 blood test done since October and each time with higher levels. I have an ultrasound of my liver on Tuesday. I wondered if I told you what parts of the test are high if you could tell me what I should be asking my doctor. I dont have very good insur. and my doctors office is a program for newbies. they seem so lostAST/GOT  42ALT/GPT 124ALK PHOS 116TRIGLYCERIDE 274not sure what these stand for I was just told they are high for a 32 year old white female. Please help!
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor The ALT is a lot above the upper limit but the AST is only slightly elevated. The alkaline phosphatase is also slightly above the upper limit as well. Triglycerides can be classified as normal, borderline high, high or very high. Your reading would be classified as high. There is a condition called fatty liver where fat is deposited in the liver. It can progress to affect the ability of the liver to work and cause problems. Fatty liver can be called alcoholic fatty liver or non-alcoholic fatty liver. Non-alcoholic fatty liver occurs in persons who are diabetic, overweight, high cholesterol or triglycerides, inactive. It is possible that the liver changes are due to this, but your doctor may suggest an ultrasound to look at the liver to look for any problems.Non-alcoholic fatty liver is treated with lifestyle changes (diet and activity). Medication may also be helpful. I hope this helps
