Hi. Im a 43 year old male alcoholic. My doctor has been working with me on this problem and the latest test results concerning my liver is AST 125 and ALT 220. My doctor, of course, said I need to stop the drinking. But he also said he didnt suspect any permanent liver damage yet but ordered and ultra-sound that I will schedule soon.My question: How high might the above levels get before permanent damage results?  Thanks!
Hello, thank you for your question. ITIS actually pretty impossible to answer you, as liver is the organ with the best regenerative abilities. You should test regularly sat, ALAT, LDH and ultrasonography of the abdomen. What you are concerned is liver cirrhosis (high percent of damaged liver tissue and low regenerative ability) . If you were my patient I would suggest you to take hepatotropic medications like transmit twice per day and lower alcohol intake. Best regards
