Question I just had blood work done and all my results were excellent except for 2 liver enzyme tests, ALT and AST. Normal for ALT is between 5-60 and for AST between 4-43. Both of my totals were over 100. I had an ultrasound and all is well. I DO take lots of herbs and supplements. My primary doctor told me to stop taking them and be retested. Can herbal supplements affect liver blood tests to the point where they may be bad for the liver even though they may be good for you?
Answer Hi Dan,
Yes, you could be taking a couple of herbs and/or supplements that contraindicate with each other.
Send me a list of the herbs and supplements that you are taking. We might be able to figure this thing out.
