My ALT is 48 and the range is supposed to be 5-33; my ast is 37 and the range is listed as less than 32. I injured my back last december, and have been taking tylenol ever since. My dr. said ad long as i stayed under 3000 mg per day i was fine. I hesitate to take ibuprofen or other nsaids, as i was in the hospital for 5 days in march with low sodium. My numbers were all over the place especially those for kidney function. They thought the ibuprofen i was also taking at the time had caused this and said to be careful about any nsaids. So should i be concerned about my alt and ast?
Hi dear thanks for asking question. Ast and alt values permissible up to 42. You have mild elevation of alt only.Here is no need of much worry. Yes by Chat Doctor. Ibuprofen you have taken can elevate it .so avoid haphazard use of analgesic... If needed then only taken... Estimate your cholesterol level and perform USG abdomen to rule out fatty liver. If jaundice present immediately consult doctor.... Take care....
