I stubbed my toe on a bedframe and initially thought I had broken it....the next day I had a lab test scheduled and my ALT serum resulted in a 74. I am concerned. I am 21 years old 6 2 about 245lbs. I am considered overweight. What are the possible explanations for it. Could it be that I bruised my toe the night before or could it be a fatty liver . I don t drink, and if I do it s once a week when I bowl with friends. Any quick reasons please ?
Hi Ron Thanks for writing in.  Your raised ALT has nothing to do with your bruised toe. But it has to do with your obesity. It is what is known as NASH- Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. You need to lose weight. Also, vitamin E also helps reduce the inflammation of liver. As of now the inflammation is mild. You need to check you Liver function test every 6 months - 1 year to see how it is progressing.  PS : Avoid alcohol and Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help Regards
