Understanding Liver Enzyme Fluctuations: When You Should Be Concerned?

[@mayla8477]

2 weeks ago i had my blood drawn and yesterday i received the results. GGT 169 IU/L AST 523 IU/L ALT 618 IU/L This morning i had a CT Scan with contrast and the results came back fine. No abnormalities. We sent in for additional blood tests and should have results next week. 16 months ago I had a complete blood panel done and everything was within normal range. I don't have any of the Transient Elevations you describe. I appreciate your videos, as they explained a lot to me in tgis stressful time. Thank you.

I got a high reading on my liver enzymes recently and immediately got checked for hepatitis and negative on all hepatitis tests. Long story short I was lifting weights and slamming protein shakes before the test. I went on a strict diet I also didn’t workout and two weeks later my test for my liver enzymes were normal. I was relieved 😌

[@swintegrative]

Yes weight lifting can do that if your body is not use to it. Thanks for sharing 👍

Should I be concerned if my AST and ALT are both high? My AST went from 41 to 54 and my ALT went from 45 to 87 in a six week period. i’ve been drinking a lot of protein shakes as I am in adrenal fatigue and I also have Hashimoto thyroiditis

Great information as usual. Thank you! Question… thoughts on why a GI would recommend Acetaminophen over ibuprofen?

[@swintegrative]

They both can be problematic but ibuprofen erodes the mucus membranes in the digestive tract… over time. Tylenol does not do this but has negative impact on liver enzymes

[@henryduran1877]

AST is at 45 and ALT 34. Four months ago AST was 17 and ALT 25. I took Tylenol 500mg 1-2 hours before blood test. Can the Tylenol cause the score to rise?

[@swintegrative]

Absolutely it can

[@swintegrative]

Well they are a bit high so yes.
