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.

Unwanted erections during meals can be embarrassing and puzzling. Here are some possible explanations: _Possible Causes_ 1. _Nerve stimulation_: Pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area or spine can cause involuntary erections. 2. _Hormonal fluctuations_: Changes in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to increased arousal. 3. _Overactive bladder_: A sensitive bladder can cause the nerves to misfire, leading to erections. 4. _Anxiety or stress_: High levels of stress or anxiety can cause physical responses like erections. 5. _Certain medications_: Some medications, such as antidepressants or blood pressure medications, can cause increased arousal as a side effect. _What to Do_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Discuss your symptoms with a primary care physician or a urologist to rule out underlying medical conditions. 2. _Keep a symptom journal_: Track when the erections occur, what you're eating, and any other factors that might be contributing. 3. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Stress-reducing activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga might help alleviate anxiety-related erections.
