What Causes Elevated ALT Level After Detoxing?
I have been detoxing following treatment for Lyme dx with antibiotics up until Sep 2013. No sign of infection for a couple of months and I've been feeling really well ... but suddenly my ALT has shot up to 108 (was around 48 until a month ago). I've been eating well and taking general nutrients + herbs to rebuild my system after all the antibiotics, e.g. rhodiola, andrographis, siberian ginseng, cat's claw, licorice. Do you have any ideas about why my ALT should suddenly skyrocket?

HI
This could indicate a liver problem like fatty liver, hepatitis, or gall bladder disease and you need a hepatitis screening and an ultrasound of your liver and gall bladder
