Is Blood Alt Level Of 60 Dangerous?
I had a alt reading about 2+ months ago of 43 then retested today and got a 60 alt reading my other readings came back normal should I be concerned?
Im 40 years 5ft 3 and weigh 192albs have a history of chronic vertigo and insomnia, and chronic sinus problems. I take valium 5 mg 4 times a day, fluticansone 2 puffs each nose once a day, qvair two puffs twice a day to prevent weasing, claritin for allergies, and I do sinus rinses as needed. I am female.My doctor says none of the medicine has liver side effects, and I don't drink alcohol but a sip on the rare occasion. He thinks it could be do my weight and Im working on this with gradual exercise when Im able too. Should I be worried with this test result? I had one other result that was high my triglcyerides read 198 ?

Hello and thank you for asking HCM.
I have read your report,and I understand your concerns.
First i would say to not worry.
Normal Alt levels are 7 to 56 unit (depending from the kits that laboratories use)
In one of your tests,your Alt was 60. This level is almost normal and it doesn't always mean a serious condition of your liver. Here are some reasons why a healthy person might have changes in the levels of liver enzymes:
-alcohol
-exercise
-some medications like aspirin,paracetamol,antibiotics, Cholesterol lowering drugs such as statins,
-stress
-weight
To help your liver you can use these advice:
-have fresh fruits and vegetables
-minimize your alcohol consumption
-drink plenty of water
-limit junk food (fast food,pizza ect)
-Whole grains and seeds are excellent source of fiber . Fibers pushes toxins through your digestive system faster so you get clean faster
-lose waight if needed
-Exercise regularly. It improves your health, regular cardiovascular/aerobic exercise can also help improve your liver health and ALT levels.
If you have any other question,feel free to ask me.
