[|Human|] I have elevated ALT levels (77) and AST levels (40) on my last blood work.  They have slowly been increasing over my past three blood works.  Should I be concerned and what can I do to lower them?  I do know I have one kidney that is a lot smaller than the other ... does this affect the higher levels?
[|AI|]  Hello, AST and ALT are enzymes produced by liver if they are subjected to any kind of insult to liver in form of infection, injury, increased alcohol intake. Kidney and AST alt has no relation whatsoever. In 1st place what is the reason for you to get your AST ALT checked 3 times? Because the values you have given are pretty much in normal range and nothing to be worried about. I would like to know further the reason of doing them and symptoms which you have. Thank you
