When Should I Take A Blood Test Again For Getting Normal ALT?

Hi i was talking tylenol for 4 days due to a small surgery i did a blood test on the last day of the treatment on the 16/07/2012 my ALT was 88.
i retook it again on the 23/07/2012 the ALT was 72.
my question is that i am pretty sure that it is due to the Tylenol but when should i retake the test to have it normal

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

Here you have mild liver enzymes elevation.
Usually after stopping drug it should fall down within few days....
So repeat after month....
If It still elevated then USG with LFT profile done....

If needed viral marker study done ...

If you have history of cardiac problem and muscular problems then it can be elevated .so it is ruled out....

Finally if no above causes present then rule out celiac disease like condition which is malabsorption syndrome....it also elevate liver enzymes....

Meanwhile take low fat diet ...and more fruits for few days....

Hope your concern solved....
