ALT @ AST

katstamper
I have levels of exactly 13 ( the bottom) & then 8 (which is below the bottom normal)

I have MS and on Tysabri infusion monthly.  I also have to take pain medications.

Should I be worried about these numbers? My doc says O.K., but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

I cant say with 100% certainty  - but I think thats good!  ALT i know has a direct correlation between elevated numbers and hepatocyte death - and I know a lot of folks here would trade you labs in a heartbeat in that regard!
