High Liver Enzymes | Aspartate vs Alanine Aminotransferase (AST vs. ALT) | Causes

Lesson on Liver Enzymes, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) vs Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), “Transaminitis”, and Causes of Elevations. One is more specific to the liver than the other, and one has a shorter half life than the other, allowing analysis of how long liver damage may have been occurring. In this lesson, we discuss both AST and ALT, their functions, their half life, organs in which they are located, and causes of elevations in both AST and ALT.

I had elevated liver enzymes and fortunately my nurse practitioner ordered an ultrasound which eventually led me to being diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. Fortunately it was operable and discovered early which is the only chance for a cure.

[@ABCTutorialz]

i’m worried that I may have the same condition and my doctor is overlooking it. my ast is in the 400s and alt is in the 200s. should i be concerned?

[@elzine21]

@@ABCTutorialz based on your profile picture, I'm making the assumption that you have traveled outside of the U.S. for work/service or you have been outside of the U.S. for leisure? If so, you most likely were at increased risk for contracting a Hepatitis virus. However, it should be noted that hepatitis A, B and C are on the rise in the united states as well. Best to get checked for hepatitis antibodies+antigens first and if those are clear, talk to your Dr about other possible causes. Elevated liver enzymes are no joke... Trust me 😅 still recovering from Transaminitis due to influenza B in 2020!!!! The sooner you get them back to normal , the better.

It is important to note that elevated levels of AST and ALT can also be due to strenuous exercise. This is what happened to me after weightlifting for the first time. I just happened to have blood work done the day after I exercised. Anyways, there’s a whole study done on it online and you can read about it.

I was trying to lose weight (I also do cardio and lift weights) and I think I cut way too many calories. I developed lightheadedness and also a debilitating fatigue especially after one evening when I had 2 beers and 3 shots of tequila. Bad idea to drink when you are short on calories. The blood test showed ATL 100, AST 44. After binge eating for 10 days, I feel absolutely normal and again full of energy (although I gained 5 pounds). Will do another test in 3 weeks.

My ALT is 130. I have a brain injury and wondering if that could be connected

[@viperracing2889]

My ALAT is 1.7 and I was told it shouldn't be more than 1.1 Is it really really bad? Like "your life is just about over" kind of bad? I don't know my ASAT yet as the elevated ALAT was discovered accidently. Still waiting for the results of the complementary blood samples to come in. Does the 1.7 alone suggest that it isn't something like cancer, cirrosis etc, or is it impossible to tell without the ASAT level? As soon as I found out I started a strict ketogenic diet. Hoping it's "only" fatty liver and that it's not too late to reverse it.

[@viperracing2889]

@@krisyas3136 My ALAT normalized soon thereafter (elevated score could've been due to too much Omega 3 or something, not sure?).

i just turned 17 and i thought i was healthy until i got my blood test results back, and i have hypothyroidism (my pituritary gland produced much more stimulant that it should for my thyroid to function normally) my alt and ast levels are very high. i have been working out for 2 years, and have not had any symptoms of muscle fatigue or anything. i am 5'10 155 pounds and i look like a regular healthy teen, but my blood test is atrocious. what should i do? is my bad ast and alt levels due to my thyroid or is it because i eat a lot of junk? (i eat pretty unhealthy, but nothing too ridiculous) I also have pulsating tinnitus. and recently had some abdominal cramps. dont knos if they are related to my liver or whatnot. just putting that out there. someone please help. i want to live a long healthy life. thank you all

Can taking iron supplements cause a high ALT? I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago. I was told to take iron supplements as my ferritin level was really low at 9. After a year on a gluten free diet, my follow up endoscopy was cancelled 3 times due to COVID. I asked to have my nutrient levels checked but the doctor said there was no need to. So, I kept taking iron supplements as I didn't know what my ferritin level was. Finally, about a month ago, I got my endoscopy and blood work. It showed that my ferritin level jumped to 323 in 2 years and my ALT rose to 116. The other liver enzyme levels were normal. My doctor hasn't followed up with me yet so I was wondering if these iron supplements were the cause? I've stopped taking iron supplements since I found out the results of my bloodwork. Thanks.

[@alilana3045]

Hi there ! Did you find the answer of your question! Can you share your experience please? Thanks

[@alilana3045]

Dose the iron supplements elevate liver enzymes?

[@joeraptor1]

@@alilana3045 That is what my doctor told me. He said iron supplements, too many carbs, and stress along with infections can create high liver enzymes if excessive alcohol consumption is ruled out as a cause.

[@joeraptor1]

Upon the doctor's suggestion, I've reduced my carb consumption and take very few iron supplements. I also now drink black coffee and green tea as they are supposed to cleanse your liver and bring down the ALT levels. Unfortunately, on my last blood tests, they are still high. My guess is that it's the gluten free food that's causing the elevated levels. On top of that, when I don't take iron supplements, I quickly feel tired and run down very easily.

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

38 is within normal ranges. Are you a tad overweight? Do you eat a lot of processed carbs and food? Go keto for 2 months, try intermittent fasting, lose 20 lbs and then retest. Your numbers will fall. I was pretty fat at 211lbs, ALT 40, AST 22; lost 34 pounds via keto and fasting, ALT went to 12, AST 16. I had a slightly fatty liver.

I just did a blood test, my AST level is showing 71+ and my ALT level is 26. I just had 5 to 6 beers just 2 days before the blood test. Would it be the reason of hiked AST level, or I had also done Advanced level Abs exercise the day before the blood test?

Having that many beers 2 days before would actually elevate your ALT more often. But 26 is a great #. You’re okay.

Your alt is normal to low so i would guess your higher ast is from muscle cell breakdown and not from your liver at all

I have an AST of 55 and an ALT of 71. I carry my weight in the middle and am probably 30 pounds over weight. I had also been on a round of two separate antibiotics prescribed by a dentist. Amoxicillan and Metroidazole and had quit taken them a week before the test. I was just kind of shocked, because this was just routine blood work and it has always been normal. I am getting a Hepatic Function Panel next week and we will see if my numbers have come down. I have watched what I have eaten for the most part the last 6 weeks and am down 10 pounds. I guess anything might help.

[@alexjones7845]

Excessive fructose (sugar) intake causes weight gain and non-alcoholic fatty liver. For some people their safe daily sugar intake can be as low 20 grams. Apparently over half of Americans have the early stages of this and it is completely reversible by reducing sugar and carb intake. ALT should then reduce in future tests. Happened to me and I wasn't even overweight. Just a diet change and ALT dropped back to normal in only a few months. AST could be temporary due to medications or from resistance training for anyone exercising.
