What are the high limits for an ALT when giving Suboxone?

Your liver enzyme qustion would more likely be in the hepatic arena as oppossed to hematology....it may be answered in some blood work questions, but it wouild probably be better addressed through hepatology................

Okay. Most medicine effects the liver. Suboxone included. Any increase in ALT levels usually indicates liver damage because the enzyme generally will spill into the blood only when there IS liver damage.  I hope that helps.

If you're concerned,go ahead and ask for a blood test. It's included in a standard panel.If there's any info about this particular drug and ALT levels it may be under hematology. But I don't know.  Now, are you asking what would be an acceptable,elevated level for someone who needs Suboxone treatment?  It would be up to the doctor and the age of the person.

Liver enzymes dont particulary respond to casual interpretations.....what is the history of the individual involved? Any history of hepatitis or impaired hepatic function should be investigated. Withdrawing the offending agents is the gold standard of care.. The liver is pretty adaptable.....but the acetaminophen is a critical consideration. It is easy to blow into the toxic arena when you use the hydro's in manner not intended for them to be used....A little more information would help greatly.........

Actually I  but it didn't give me a specific answer I am seeking. I'm needing to know what is too high when a person is taking this particular medication.

Tammy-  You can google that same question and get an answer.  It would be better...
