Disclaimer: not a doc or giving medical advice. That being said those are not all that high from the dozens of labs I’ve seen from fitness folks. A lot of people that work out strenuously and eat high protein diets have slightly elevated liver enzymes.

As i mentioned mine are 100+ for 10 years and the liver is still perfect. I would start worrying when it goes into many houndreds. Your are minimally elevated which is normal for anyone whos active.
Actual damage shows at 500. Totally fucked is in thousands…
This is what I’ve heard as well but honestly haven’t researched it. Just bro speak from my end.

Again no medical advice but I am just not following here.
You didn’t post ref ranges.
Have you disclosed your hobbies to her?
Here’s example ALT/AST:
High point on ALT (63) below is running 50 mg/day of oxandrolone.
We must be missing some key information. Why would your doctor require you to take glutathione shots at these ALT/AST levels?
These kinds of threads puzzle me as we obviously don’t see what Dr. sees and OP never provides appropriate context or details like time series of their CMP results.
Never mind, obviously please just listen to your Doc.

Normal blood test results for typical liver function tests include: ALT. 7 to 55 units per liter (U/L) AST. 8 to 48 U/L.Aug 18, 2021

45 isn’t bad but the 75 I gotta bring down I’m assuming…
For the record I’m not hating on anyone… I’ve been about the bro life from day 1… I’m just getting older & wanna make sure when pushing the limits I stay safe as possible. That said… I think TRT doc is probably being over cautious… I just wanna be able to extend the journey
I mean neither are that bad. Concerning ALT…
If you’re truly concerned get imaging done like I stated.

From your own forum source…
3 – ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE (ALT), ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE (AST)
The liver has many roles in the body. For one, it plays a role in the conversion of amino acids. Two enzymes that are involved in the conversion of amino acids are ALT and AST. These enzymes are commonly used as a surrogate marker for damage to the liver.
ALT is found mostly in the liver so it’s more specific to hepatocellular damage (liver damage). AST is found in the cytosol of many other cells like muscle, brain, lung and pancreas, which makes it less specific to the liver. AST and ALT have both been found to be elevated after acute bouts of training. One study found that levels can be elevated for up to 7 days after a bout of lifting in men not used to weight training.
The muscle damaged incurred during heavy endurance training or lifting releases the enzymes into the bloodstream which will then cause the blood tests to be elevated. High-protein diets have also been shown to increase the concentration of these enzymes. The rise doesn’t occur from damage but because the body upregulates the production of these enzymes as you consume more protein.
You can see how combining hard training with a high-protein diet can cause elevations in AST and ALT. Now, of course, there can be a disease process occurring as well. So you shouldn’t just write off elevations, especially in conjunction with other symptoms like abdominal pain, jaundice, change in stool color, and darkening of the urine. (Of note, alcohol and medications can also cause increases in liver values.)
