Liver Test
Hi Doctor -
I just ot my results from my liver test and was curious for some intepretation...everythign was in normal range except for AST, ALT and GGT. my AST was 47, ALT was 74, and GGT was 89. I read that drinking even 24 hrs before a test can cause some of this and I certainly did drink 24 hours before. It said to fast for 10-12 hrs and I had a drink about 10 hrs before my test. I am also on Lexapro which I think can cause elevated GGT. What are you thoughts about this? I have read that a ratio of AST/ALT over 2/1 is liver disease and mine is less than 1...
Thank you..

it could be related to the alcohol intake or also could be a touch of fatty liver
Oh, and I am not sure why my profile says female as I am a male, must have filled out wrong...Thanks
