[|Human|] Hi. I am a 35 yr old female. I don t drink alcohol and I am active. I m not overweight. I have however been diagnosed with scleroderma and lupus. My doctors started me on chemotherapy and that has helped tremendously with my autoimmune diseases however I got back my most recent blood work back and my ALT is 220 and AST is 96. I stopped the chemotherapy immediately but should I be concerned? Will the liver repair itself? Is there anything I can do to help?
