High ALT And AST And Mild Fatty Liver, Can You Please Suggest
Hello I am 31 years old. my weight is 68 kg and height is 5 4 . I have some problems of sweating in hand palms, blurred vision , dried mouth and weakness. Recently I had liver function test which shows my ALT and AST level is high. they are 133 u/l and 58 u/l respectively. Alkaline Phosphatase is 102 u/l. My USG shows mild fatty liver . I used to take Simbastatin tablet to reduce my cholesterol level. My LDL is also quite high 143mg/dl. can you please suggest that what is my current liver condition. I dont smoke or drink. what measures should I take?

hi!
high cholesterol is not good & perhaps for that u are on simvastatin(* what doses?) --see these drugs are metabolized by liver & usually are well tolerated but at times they can cause mild hepatitis & since you are symptomatic also YOU need to look your dr once more for physical examination if drug itself is a cause ...the dr might need to adjust the doses or change the drug
