What could the blood test report indicate?
Patient: I had my gallbladder removed on Jan 25 2012. After being released I had blood work done. I received a call on Feb 15, I was told my alt was at 84 and I need to see the doctor. My appointment is on monday but I am very worried. Should I be? I don't do drugs, or drink a lot, no hep. Or jaundice. Doctor: Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your alt level is slightly high.  There are many causes for that.  You may have some mild liver insult.  Its not a cause of big worry.  You just consult your doctor and go for complete liver function test.  Then if needed take treatment accordingly. Just be relaxed.  Its not serious. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
