Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Overweight And ASD The Causes For Elevated ALT And AST Levels?
My child had a recent blood test done. His ALT/ AST and calcium were slightly elevated, his Uric Acid levels were elevated and his CPK 1 were high but I am not sure how high as the test did not specify what the range was. He is on the ASD spectrum and is overweight due to feeding issues. I was thinking this may be why the liver enzymes were out of range. What specialist should I go to seek more info?
these two things are not related. please consult a obesity consultant or a bariatric surgeon for thje overweight issues.The calcium and uric acid issue will be dealt by a rheumatologist and/ or an orthopedic surgeon.
