how serious is my liver damage

[brianlee24]

My insurance application was declined due to my medical exam result. The only two abnormalities are ast (108) and alt (271). I don't take medicine and have no previous liver decease. However, I was extremely busy in the past 8 months due to the born of my daughter. I often stay up late or all night in order to finish my work that I cannot do in the daytime, when I have to take care of my daughter.

My question is how serious could my liver damage be. Can it be fully recovered? Thank you!

BTW, I do not drink and am negative for any hepatitis.

Thank you very much! My doctor also suspected that fatigue could cause elevated ast/alt, but he thought my levels are a little too high. So he ordered abdominal ultrasound and the report found a possible 9x8x9 mm hemangioma (see the image at http://s4.postimg.org/5gd4fidz1/1_13_2015_10_20_19_PM.png). The report also says "But in the setting of elevated ast/alt, a MR or CT is suggested". I was wondering how bad this size of hemangioma could be, and I doubt that there is any relation between it and my elevated ast/alt. Any further info/suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Hello,  do  you drink?  Drinking before the test could have caused the elevation.  I would have suggested  medications, even tylenol but you said you did not take anything.
Have you been tested for Hepatitis? A B C?
I am just another patient trying to come up with ideas.
Water is important to help the liver work well.
I hope you can find some answers.  What did your doctor say?
Take Care

Typically the range for normal AST is reported between 10 to 40 units per liter and ALT between 7 to 56 units per liter. Mild elevations are generally considered to be 2-3 times higher than the normal range.

You should have the test repeated in a few months to see if they have gone down.
