Elevated AST and ALT
Hi,
I just wanted to share this in case it may help someone else ease their mind at some point. I had my 6 month checkup a week ago and my ALT and AST were elevated so my doctor wanted me to have a pelvic/abdominal CT and bone scan. The tests did not show a recurrence which was awesome news. She still wants me to see a hepatologist about my liver, and that appointment isn't until February, but I suspect it's fatty liver. She did mention an autoimmune issue and that he may want to biopsy my liver but I really don't think there is anything serious going on.
I just wanted to share in case anyone else has this happen perhaps this will ease your fear. I'm so close to five years I can taste it!
As always I came here first and read of others who had this happen and it was nothing, but wanted to contribute another positive outcome.
