I get abdominal distension and persistent diarrhea with high alt and ast values what is my problem
hello I think there are multiple issues you need proper workup your alt alanine transaminase ast aspartate transaminase are due to alcohol related liver disease better is to do us ultrasound abdomen other issues are I had gone through your blood reports your hemoglobin and hematocrit are in range of polycythemia vera which is a blood coagulation disorder so what is feel is you need a good doctor hematologist for polycythemia and related to your gastric issues us abdomen and endoscopy with biopsy can be done if possible as this will tell us liver and pancreas status as alcohol affects both second thing stop smoking which is a culprit for your high he so to get that worked up there are series of tests need to be done my advice is to choose a good doctor to get everything thing done
