High Liver Enzymes

Hello,

I just did a routine blood test for a life insurance policy and was denied due to high liver enzymes.  My results were as follows....

My ALT is 227

My AST is 131

My GGT is 239

I have became very worried about this as I am not sure how serious this could be.  I drink alcohol on a daily basis at business functions with heavy drinking at times with friends and family.  Would this most likely be my problem and if I cut back dramatically could that help.  Or...am I possibly looking at something much more scary.  The test showed negative for hepatits and all others were normal.  Thank you so much for your help!!!




This discussion is related to 24 YO male w/ elevated AST and ALT levels, what should I think?.
