[|Human|] I am a 69 year old female with type 2 diabetes. I weigh 163 pounds and I measure 5 6 . I had my gallbladder removed on 7/8/2014 due to several stones only in the gallbladder, and I appear to be recovering without incident. I am scheduled for my post-op appointment with my surgeon on 7/15. I received an online report of my test results, and the ALT and AST results appear high to me. The report listed the results with normal ranges in parentheses as follows: ALT (9-52 U/L) 131A AST (14-36 U/L) 282 A My question: Are high lipids related to recent gallbladder surgery? What questions should I be prepared to ask my surgeon?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You have gall stone Nd you have gone through cholecystectomy.  AST and ALT are liver enzymes.  They are not lipids. Their levels increase in liver damage.  It is due to gall bladder surgery.  No need to worry. Just repeat your AST and ALT levels after 6 weeks.  Take low fat diet.  Avoid alcohol and smoking. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
