Could D Amphetamine Salt Combo Cause Elevated ALT And AST Liver Enzymes?

I was just told, unfortunately without real numbers due to their computers being down, that my ALT and AST liver enzymes were elevated and she was concerned only because that was the first time she noticed that with me in 5+ years. She of course asked about alcohol and Tylenol use which I don't drink much and drink even less now than I did. I very rarely use Tylenol or Advil just because I usually dont need it. I am 39, 200 lbs and on 10mg of Lisinopril and 20mg of D-Amphetamine Salt Combo. The only medication I could think of was the addition of 20mg of D-Amphetamine Salt Combo. Could this cause an increase in both my ALT and AST liver enzymes?

Hi welcome to HCM...

Noted your liver enzymes are elevated...
Long term drug use can lead elevation of it...

The other cause also has to be ruled out apart from drug induce liver affection.

Fatty liver that is steatosis and gall stone like condition can lead to enzymes elevation.
Rule it out by USG ...

If you have infection by infectious mononucleosis or cytomegalovirus then also it can occur....

Viral marker study also done for rule out viral hepatitis.

Cardiac problem , muscular problem also can lead its elevation..

Regular follow up needed.
Meanwhile low fat diet taken with more fruits.

If you send detail report of LFT we can give further comment..

Take care....
