Can someone help me with my labs?

My labs are down the line just a bit, just look for the picture of the dog that is my profile picture.   Do we only get one answer on here?  I really need to know what they mean as my doctor doesn't want to test for anything and these are all the labs I have.  Rumpled, where are you?  You asked me for my labs and I gave them to you.

I hope you are alright, I truly do.

Hi,
The rest of the laboratory results were normal except for elevated AST, ALT and TT3. AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT are enzymes used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases. AST is found in high amounts in heart muscle and liver and skeletal muscle cells. Diseases that affect liver cells increase the levels of AST. However, increased levels of AST alone do not specifically indicate liver disease because it may rise during pregnancy and after exercise. Alanine transaminase (ALT), on the other hand, is an enzyme found in the highest amounts in the liver. If there was injury to the liver, there is a release of the substance into the blood. This can be due to any of the following: acute pancreatitis, celiac disease, Cirrhosis, liver necrosis, Hepatitis (viral, autoimmune), liver ischemia, liver disease or use of drugs that are poisonous to the liver. Triiodothyronine is the active thyroid hormone, and is also known as T3. Total T3 is typically elevated in hyperthyroidism. Remember that normal range can vary according to a number of factors, including age and gender. The normal value ranges may also vary slightly among different laboratories. It is best that you talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results. Take care and hope this helps.

Hi,
How are you? Can you re-post the laboratory results again? Laboratory results are usually  discussed by the attending physician with the patient on the follow-up consultation. But will try to help. Hope to hear from you soon.
