AST and ALT is increasing frequently

[latashukla]

my AST and ALT was 51 and 49 resp in Dec 2011. After one month later (feb 2012), i again have a blood test for lever and this time my AST and ALT is 75 and 63 resp.
Why my AST and ALT level is increasing frequently?"

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Persistently elevated liver enzymes could be an indication for liver biopsy. This is planned after correlating with imaging studies, clinical symptoms and other blood tests. Elevated levels can occur with liver disease, but other causes for the enzyme elevation could be muscle disease or injury. Some medications can also raise these levels. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I wish I could further help you but the testing will let you know what is going on and so you have to wait for that. Your enzymes are elevated but not to a point you need to be alarmed. The testing your doctor has ordered is exactly what you need, together you and your doctor will get this figured out. For now avoid any alcohol and pain medication even for headache.

It seems you are having lab testing on regular basis when these elevated levels were discovered. What was the reason for this?

Something is irritating your liver. Many things can cause this such as alcohol, medications and poor diet just to name some popular ones. What has your doctor said about these enzymes being elevated? Surely he/she would have concerns.
