HiA few small liver haemangiomas were found incidentally on an ultrasound scan a couple of years ago. I have no pain or anything.  Recent routine blood tests shows my ALT to be 65. In the past it has varied from 27 to 47 to 36 and now 65. is this anything to worry about. My other LFT are normal (bilirubin,alk phos & albumin). My cholesterol is a little high at 5.9.??
Hi there, liver hematomas are common benign tumors of the liver and most often are incidental findings. They are asymptomatic but sometime may cause hemorrhages. If you are a female then one of the causes cited are use of OCS and discontinuing them and using other form of contraception would be recommended. Isolated raised ALT need not be a matter of concern, and please do a follow-up after few weeks. If you nave no other complains then you may just leave it along with aperiodic checkup of liver function tests and ultrasound just to monitor the activity. Otherwise, you can lead a healthy trouble free life. Try cutting down on fatty food and undertake some form of cardio exercises to check the cholesterol level, or you can visit your physician and let him prescribe some pills for cholesterol control. Take care.
