So during Covid I decided to overly drink alcohol. I gained a good 15 pounds. So I decided to quit for at least 6 months. My doctor have my liver enzymes checked and my ALT level was 43, and my AST level was 47. I have been lifting heavy consistently since the beginning of December. My test was done 1 week after I stopped drinking and I lifted heavy weights 4 days straight prior to the test. Should I be concerned about my results? My doctor wants me to retest in 4-6 weeks. Thanks
These are mildly elevated but are not a cause for immediate/urgent concern. I agree with avoiding further alcohol use for now, aiming to reduce your body fat/waist circumference, and retesting down the line.
