Should I Be Concerned With High ALT Liver Enzymes?
I just had some lab work done and also on the recovering end of an awful stomach bug lasting around 6 days with massive diarrhea. I have hydrated with IVs and Gatorade. All my lab work was normal except my ALT liver enzyme. It was 96. Is this cause for major concern or should I just recheck at a later date. Thanks

Thanks for your consultataion at HCM!!
I have gone through your case and being your physcian i totally undrstands your health concerns
Raised ALT occur in variety if liver diseases starting from simple FATTY LIVER DIASEASE to HCV ,HBV infection..
All you need is to do an ultrasound of liver and consult hepatologist so that the proper workup of liver has been done and exact diagnosis should be made after ruling out other liver diseases.
Hope your query is adequately answered if u still have any feel free to ask
