I went in for gall bladder attack & my ALT was 124 & my AST was 189. Blood pressure was high & still high after one week. I was put on Lisinopril 5mg - after 3 days on it my ALT was 240 & my AST was 153, after another 8 days or a total of 11 days on it my ALT was 414 & AST was 177. I was taked off of it for one week, now my ALT is 188 & AST is 67. How long before it should be back to normal? I have a gall stone 3.3cm in size - surgeon said it needs to come out - Doctor thinks since the size may be optional surgery. Could the galls stone have anyting to do with the elevation of the ALT & AST? If surgery how soon?
Thanks for posting your question on Chat Doctor! I can understand your problem, however some data is lacking like age, gender, duration of the symptoms, alcohol intake (if any), etc. Elevated liver enzymes may indicate inflammation or damage to cells in the liver. Many diseases and conditions can contribute to elevated liver enzymes. Most common being alcohol ingestion, liver disease, fatty liver, cirrhosis of liver, obesity, Chat Doctor. Gall bladder disease (cholecystitis) due to gall stones can also result in elevated liver enzymes. Kindly consult your surgeon for the treatment of gall stones. Best regards!
