| Re: ALT 202 and AST 84
brandysue, did your GI doc recommend getting a Fibrosure-NASH test? I have had a fatty liver that was discovered on CT Scan about 6 years ago but my ALT/AST was always normal. If anything, on the low side. Then over the past 6 months those numbers have gone up. My ALT has stabilized at about 130 now but was as high as 177 as recently as a month ago. My AST is around yours, 77.
What this blood test does is that it establishes whether you have simple fatty liver, fatty liver that has progressed to fibrosis, to full blown cirrhosis.
Also, have you been tested for all the various hepatitis disorders (A,B,C, Autoimmune, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis)?
Relying on ultrasound and ALT/AST numbers is the right way to monitor you if all you have is fatty liver, but if your losing weight and the numbers are going up, then I would inquire with your doctor about an alternative diagnosis
