What Causes An Increase In The ALT Levels?
hi I have had low WBC, high RBC, & high cholesterol counts on my CBC results for several years. I have had my L thyroid gland removed due to small growth & am taking liothyronine for low thyroid levels. On my most recent labs I have an elevated ALT level. Should I be concerned?
