What Causes Elevated AST And ALT Levels Blood?
All my comprehensive blood work came back great however the AST and ALT were high. The AST was 44 out of a range of 10-37 and the ALT was 47 out of a range of 8-37. This was this month. In March when I had a blood draw the AST was 25 and the ALT was 24. What could have caused this? What does this mean? I do take toporal blood pressure medicine and occasionally Amerge for migraine headaches. I do not drink alcohol and I do not take Motrin or any other medication.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have slightly high AST and ALT levels. Its not very high. It can be due to some drugs or subclinical viral infection. Nothing to worry. No treatment is required. Just repeat your liver enzymes level after a month. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
