Should I be worried about Jaundice

Should I be worried about Jaundice

6222881?1286462011
My dr just called after a routine medical exam and labs and said that I had elevated liver enzymes.  AST of 42 and ALT of 102.  I'm supposed to go back in 30 days for a liver function test, but have been reading online and getting nervous.   Is this something to worry about.  Also I am attaching pictures of my eyes.  Do they look like I may have jaundice?  Oh I'm a 24 year of old male.  5'11" 210lbs.

Your eyes don't appear to me to show signs of jaundice but I'm not in the medical profession. I have seen jaundice many times however and your eyes look white and not yellow.

Your liver enzymes are not significantly elevated but they are out of range. I would not panic but I would definitely follow up and try and figure out why your enzymes are elevated. Did your doctor order any blood tests? Often people with elevated enzymes are tested for viral hepatitis (Hep A, B or C).

I guess when you say your doctor wants to see you in 30 days for a liver function test you mean he will repeat the liver enzyme test. I hope they are normal.

Good luck,
Mike
