Just got my blood work back

Yes. The reference range is actually too high. It has inched up over the past 30 years.
Just checked:
My last results were 23 alt and 29 ast.

Are you ingesting a lot of fructose, especially from non-fruit sources or fruit juice?

Non alcoholic fatty liver disease is no bueno.

If you drink a lot of alcohol, then you need to cut that and sugar.

You're young enough you can def get it down and avoid damage. Even kids are starting to see this a lot. Especially Latin American kids--bad combo of diet (lots of soft drinks) and genetics.

Once things start open back up I’m going to gym again. All the other blood work came back normal. So I guess that’s a good sign

Can I sue my job for too much stress? Do you know a good lawyer?

Here's a good podcast ep with Dr David Ludwig. He's the real deal when it comes to fatty liver disease. He discusses nutritional and lifestyle changes and gets into the science a little but keeps it interesting.

Did they run your ferritin levels?

Mine were elevated many years ago. Don’t know the levels, it was told by blood donation center that they were too high for my blood to be used for donation.
Freaked me out.

Then read up and realized it was from excessive activity the previous two days and taking a lot of NSAIDS during the same time. I had played 8-9 softball games and was taking ibuprofen 800mg every 8hrs for two days.

Have donated multiple times since then and blood was good for donation.

My doctor just called and told me that she is going to retest me on Monday. I’m going to stop taking Tylenol and drinking. I will report back on Monday. I hope they go down
