Slightly elevated liver enzymes
A bloodtest in July showed Gamma GT <38 U/L - so normal, but the ALT GPT had risen to 48 and the AST GOT had risen to 56. Bilirubin totale (0.4), directe (0.2) and indirecte (0.3) were all normal and Phosphatases alcalines 50. Vitamin B12 was 400 ng/L. Based on these blood test results, would it be be immediately concluded that I was an alcoholic? I don't have jaundice or abdominal pain. At the time the test was taken, I had been taking Omeprazole (PPI) and Doxicyclin (anti -b) for a month.

Hi
If you ate alcoholic and if your liver enzymes are raised you should be worried. Otherwise just repeat it after a month.
