Anyone with mildly elevated ALT and other LFT normal?
Hi! Has anyone heard if AIH can cause only elevated ALT? My ALT has been elevated for more than 12 months. It has been 42-68. Currently it is 60 (but the lab changed upper normal from 30 to 41 so I guess it would be 50 if they did not change). Over the year it has increased from 40 to 60. My AST was above the normal at 35 only once, all other times it sits on 30, which is the upper normal for my lab. All my other liver markers are normal. ANA is 1:100 and nucleolar, ASMA is negative. I have not tested other AIH antibodies. This elevation started after menopause, ultrasound is normal, 3.6 kPA (F0-F1). I am reading the literature but I have not seen any record of AIH with only ALT being elevated. Have you heard of that? I know fatty liver and AIH can co-exist. It's all so confusing. Thanks so much.
