Suggest methods to control high AST levels
Patient: Hello. I am a 24 year old Male that was diagnosed with Mononucleosis one week ago. My initial AST levels were 620, ALT at 655, Alcphos 263. They have dropped to AST 206, ALT 512, Alcphos 233. I would like to know how long it will take for my liver enzymes to go back to normal, and to make a full recovery, and when can i have a glass of wine? Doctor: HelloWelcome to HCM Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns. As you are recovering from mononucleosis infection, it would take 3 months for the complete recovery. The enzyme like AST and All are elevated whenever there is injury or damage to liver cells. So it would take around 10 to 12 weeks for the liver tissue to recover. Till then beware of habits that cause injury to liver. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
