That came back fine, and a month or 2 later, he rechecked the enzymes, and they were back in normal range. I've never had bad ALT or AST since. He told me a signficant percentage of people with elevated liver levels will have normal levels within a month or 2. And of course, medications can cause high alt. I can't remember, did you have a CT of your liver done?

Don’t think I’ve had a liver CT. Insurance won’t pay for an MRI. My ALT liver enzymes are always elevated but like 60 or 80. This last test was well over 100. I have NAFLD.
