my son just had liver test done for the second time his first test showed a slight elevation in the enzymes so we retook the test 1 month later and now he is high at 65? what can cause this/ they are sending him for ultrasound of the liver his age is just 12
Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Usually 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. Viral hepatitis (HAD, HBV, HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Typhoid fever may also affect liver and cause high liver enzymes. Advice
