Q: mildly high AST and ALT
asked by: icehockeygirlal on February 9th, 2008

I'm a 28 year old healthy female (5'11", 150 lbs). I exercise and eat mostly healthy. I drink moderately (2-3 times/wk). Since I'm hoping to get pregnant in 4 months my doctor did some blood work. Everything was normal except for an AST of 49 and an ALT of 60. My doctor said to avoid alcohol and retest in one month, and if it's still high then she will retest again in another 6 months. If it's still high then she will run other tests. She doesn't want me to get pregnant until they're down. I'm worried that they won't go down before I'd like to get pregnant. IF it's still high in a month is it appropriate to ask my doctor to start running tests at that point? I know the longer I wait to get pregnant, the harder it will get.

I appreciate any info-
