Hi! I was told I have an enlarged spleen and elevated liver enzymes. I am a 26 year old male, 5 7 215 pounds. I also have low testosterone levels which I have been getting testosterone injection for for the past year. My AST is 62 and my ALT is 137. I was wondering what the causes of this could be and what treatments I could pursue. I am seeing a gastroenterologist tomorrow. Other than these, I am in good health. Could injections of Testosterone Cypionate cause this?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. Yes it can cause this. But many other causes as well such as alcohol, viral hepatitis, fatty liver, gallbladder obstruction etc. You should stop with testosterone and check your LFT levels 2 weeks after. If there is no improvement you need to rule out these disorders I have mentioned. Wish you good health. Regards.
