How Dangerous Is An ALT Level Of 84 And AST Of 56?
Question: How dangerous is an ALT level of 84 AST of 56 and Billirubin of .6
Brief Answer:
These might be normal for your age.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
Looking at the values, i would say the results might indicate mild liver injury, possibly alcohol or medication. Elevated values upto 2 times is normal in the elderly, so I would not think much of these unless you have history of hepatic injury causing habits.
I would say, these are values are near normal. If they are elevated upto 8-10 times, then they are dangerous values indicating severe hepatic damage.
Bilirubin of 0.6 is very much normal and indicates good liver function.
However, if you are taking alcohol, you need to reduce or quit.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
