Hi yes I just came back from the doctors and was told that my AST and ATL had increased since April. I had bloodwork done on 10/24 but I just remembered that on 10/18 I went to the ER because I was throwing up. I though I had food poisoning on the 17th but still felt sick in the 18th. After they filled me with saline and gave me anti nausea medicine I felt better so I think I had a stomach virus. Was the proximity of this in the 18th the likely cause for elevated levels when I tested on the 24th?
Hi. I don't know how much have increased your transaminase but in a moderate increase a good gastrohepatologist is not in a hurry. It could be your gastroenteritis or better the virus that caused it the cause of your changed AST and ALT, but of course I'd suggest repeating the test again after a month for example and if still increased then the biological test for hepatotropic viruses or simply hepatitis viruses should be a must, I mean for hepatitis A, B,C, D(only if B is positive), and E.
