Recently a blood test revealed my liver enzymes were up. My ALT was 89 way outside the range of 30-65 IU/L and my AST was 38 with the range of 15-37 IU/L.
I will try to be brief and to the point.
Over 10 years I have steadily gained weigh and now weigh over 230 pounds and my body fat is about 39 percent. This weigh gain started happening after being successfully treated for breast cancer with surgery and radiation therapy.
My question is: Is and can the fact that my long term OBESITY (over 100 pounds) for over 15 years be a more valid consideration than other possibilities like hepatitis or fatty liver...etc?
I did take the series of hepatitis shots about 5 years ago. I know it may not rule out hepatitis, but I feel my obesity is more the problem.
I would appreciate informative input that I can discuss further with my doctor in a follow-up appointment.
