Are High Ast And Alt Results Indicative Of Liver Or Pancreatic Cancer?
Just received my AST (SGOT) results. 287 which was flagged high. ALT (SGPT) 96 also flagged high. My dad, uncle, grandma all died as a result of liver and pancreases cancer. Should I be worried? I have been taking testosterone treatment and I am young at 56 years old. Could taking testosterone cause this type of symptom? I drink liquor occasionally and maybe a few glasses of wine during the week. I have been advised to see my doctor for further testing. What should I do? Worried in Hawaii

Hi
High alt and as test indicate liver cancer.
You must do a ct scan of whole abdomen and a biopsy test to rule out cancer.
