Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my husband alt level went from 39 in 1/17 to 41 in 2/17 and 56 in 3/17. Between 2/17 and 3/17 he had 30 days without drinking. Now they have ordered other test and said he is abnormal but stable. Should we worry? One of his newer test ordered Ferritin came out at 444 which is high.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is nothing to much worry in this liver function test.
In alcoholic liver diseases the liver enzymes will be in thousands.
Ferritin is little bit high and it might be due to iron over load.
As of now nothing to worry now.
Wishing all the best
