He is seeing a MD should he see a cardiologist. since dec he is taking a medicine. in dec his cholestrol was 312 n now it is 186 but now ( because of medicine i guess) his good cholestrol is low.in december his ALT and AST was normal but now ( we got the report today) it is height ALT is very very heigh it is 102 n range is 40-70. i m really worried but the doctor didnt stop his medicine told him to do exercise 6 days in a week for a half n hr.

his ratio got low. yes ALT n AST are the liver enzyme it helps in liver functions. is ther anyone who experienced his heigh ALT N AST when he's taking the cholestrol medicine?

I'm only familiar with total cholester, high density cholesterol, low density cholesterol and the importance of the ratio.  Overall, it seems as though your husband's medicine is bringing down his total cholesterol.  Was his HDL low before the medication?  Does the doctor feel his HDL will improve?

How does the doctor explain the elevated ALT?  I think that is a liver function test and it's one of the tests that is monitored with certain cholesterol lowering medications.  

Excercise (with doctor's apporval) is good for overall heart health.

I don't know much about cholesterol, can't keep them all straight. Mine is always fine so I ignore it (lucky me). But I'll bump this up so others can see it again. I'm sure someone understands the cholesterol issue.

Bump.
