High AST Levels blood test
Hi,
I am a 22 year old Male, BMI 23.2. I have done a routine blood test which was largely normal except for Vit D and B12 deficiencies. One other thing that was abnormal were AST Levels, they were high measuring upto 51.8 unit/L. The ALT levels were in the normal range.
As it is related to liver, I was considering what course of action to follow next ? Is this level alarming and what could be causes? I do not indulge in frequent drinking, especially hard liquor, but do have a beer or a smoke very very rarely. I already eat healthy 90% of the time, maintain a diet and calories deficit, lost 10 kgs in 6 months, exercise in the gym 5 times a week. So I do have a good balanced lifestyle overall. Please find my report attached as well and let me know if this is a cause of concern.

ALT is specific for the liver .
AST is non specific.
However since you have shared just LFT it is not possible to give appropriate advice. Please get a Complete Health Package done and consult a General Physician.

That's a marginal increase in ast ,you need not be concerned about it.Continue with your diet and physical activity.Repeat your liver function tests when you plan to check your vitamin d and B12 levels after correction.
