Hi,
My husband of good health and young (33) had blood work done several months ago all of it was good but he raised ALT levels. Being the person I am I jump on the internet and begin my search. I ran across a site that stated that it increases motality by 60% Thats scary more than half!

So after 4 blood test saying its slighty to high to just high his did an ultra sound and that was normal. My husband doc said that's it you are just some who has a higher ALT Level.
What do I do now?
Say ok or should he see some one else?
Thanks
Kris
