Is 70 a high ALT level?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Usually, the upper limit of ALT is 35 - 40 U/L. Moderate increase in ALT (such as 70 U/L) is seen in chronic hepatitis, chronic obstruction of bile ducts, heart damage, alcohol abuse, liver tumor, skeletal muscle damage. In any acute liver conditions, ALT is much more elevated.

For your ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) level of 70, here are the key points to understand:
-
Normal ALT Range: Typically, normal ALT values for adult males range from about 7 to 56 units per liter (U/L), but this can vary slightly depending on the lab.
-
Interpretation of 70: A value of 70 is mildly elevated above the usual upper limit.
-
Possible Causes: Mild elevation can be due to various reasons such as liver inflammation, fatty liver, medication effects, or other liver-related conditions.
-
Next Steps: It is important to discuss this result with your healthcare provider who may recommend further evaluation or monitoring based on your overall health and symptoms.
-
Lifestyle Considerations: Avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing other health conditions can help support liver health.
If you have any symptoms or other health concerns, please share them with your doctor for a comprehensive assessment.

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?
yes but do stool culture examination

I'm 50 and used to be addicted to alcohol, but I quit completely a year ago. For the past three months, I've been dealing with loose motions about 4 to 5 times a day. I saw a doctor and did all sorts of tests like ultrasound, blood, and stool tests. Everything came back normal no kidney issues, no diabetes, just a minor fatty liver. My hemoglobin levels are low. Could low hemoglobin be the reason for these loose motions? Also, I've been on high blood pressure medications for 25 years. I'm not sure what to do next or if there are other tests I should consider. Any advice?
Its unlikely that low hemoglobin alone is causing your loose motions, but it could contribute to overall weakness. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and fatty liver, its important to follow up with your doctor for further tests, like checking for gastrointestinal issues or infections, and possibly adjusting your medication. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet will also help.
