Dr.,
After a clean bill of health in July, an insurance medical screen in September gave me the following elevated liver enzyme levels:
ALP - 132
AST - 115
ALT - 280
GGT - 332
I have been on Crestor since May, Flomax and Sulfamethoxazole for a month and Protonix for a week before the blood was drawn.
I am in the process of having my blood drawn via my internal med doc and he has ordered basic blood work, hepaiitis and ferritin as well as asked me to have an Ultrasound. He has told me that these readings can spike for many reasons and that he often sees them come down to normal.
I'd like your professional opinion on that likelihood. Seems like the ALT and GGT readings are way beyond modest increases, but my doc told me that "1000" on ALT is off the charts and that readings of 280-300 are not that unusual. Please let me know your thoughts.
