What causes elevated levels of alanine transaminase in blood test?
Patient: Hi, My name is Saurabh.I have gone through complete blood test.In the report i have found that Alanine transaminase is increased.. it should be in between 0 to 37..but it is 52.... what is the reason? and what should i have to do to come in range... please suggest. Doctor: Hi.Thanks for posting query at HCM.NO need to worry.retest liver enzymes after 3 to 6 months.Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal ( in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further.hope to answer your concern.regardsDr Tayyab Malik
