Hi,My last blood test does show ALT level is 47, LDL is 122, CRP is 3.74 and TSH is 5.060. Hep is neg. Dont drink. I have hypothyroid and it was out of control for a while. My BMI is 35. Do I have a fatty liver or ALT is elevated bec of thyroid problem.
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. Yes, hypothyroidism can affect liver function and can cause elevated ALT levels. Since your BMI is high, it is more likely that you have fatty liver. It can be confirmed with an ultrasound scan of the abdomen. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of elevated liver enzyme levels. I hope that answers your question. Regards.
