Hi, my name is Linda. A  couple months ago my stomach begin to get large and ( feel like something was in it), it even became hard to tie my shoes. Shortly  after . I had blood work done, my AST was75 and my ALT was 176. Should I be worried? Are these levels extreme?
Hi Linda, ALT and AST levels are indeed elevated. It indicates an ongoing hepatic inflammation. Its increasing and cause needs to be identified, and also you need to be on hepatoprotective Chat Doctor. If you are talking about your stomach growing bigger, it is probably secondary to ascites and you're maybe suffering from a condition called as portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis liver. If you are an alcoholic, you need to quit. Meet your doctor at the earliest. Hope this helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
