High ALT count & Creatine

Medical Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hey guys, try to keep brief. Mid 30’s 6’ 200 pounds. I have high cholesterol since mid 20s’ was on Lipitor but caused ALT AST to sky rocket up to 150’s+. Past year doc has had me on Crestor and now cholesterol is under control, AST is normal range and ALT is sitting around lower 60’s.

I am interested in supplementing with Creatine but don’t want to mess up years years of trial and error to get cholesterol and liver enzymes stable. Is there any concern that Creatine will increase ALT / AST count? I asked doctor about supplementing with Creatine but does not seem very knowledgeable on the subject and basically just told me it is not necessary / wont help anything. What would be your thoughts?

Thanks! Love the podcast!

I do not have any concern about creatine as it relates to liver function/labs.

However, I do have concerns about someone’s ALT being in the 60s long-term.
