What Causes Elevated AST And ALT Levels?
HI I had some blood tests done on Tuesday 30/12/14 and they showed an elevated AST 40 and ALT 59. My previous tests done on the 6/6/14 were normal.
I am 41, morbidly obese and I used to drink regularly, but i quit drinking about 3-4 months ago, I have recently started a program of healthy eating, and working out at the gym 6 days a week, on Tuesday I also started a weights training program. IN this three month period i have lost approximately 14 kgs so far.
Could my elevated readings be because of the exercise and lifestyle changes as my bloods were taken after i had been to the gym and while i was fasting so I had only had water since the night before.
