I had my annual exam yesterday and got the lab results. My
liver enzyme ALT is 55 whereas normal range is 0-32iu/L.
AST is 27iu/L
Total Bilirubin is 0.4mg/dL
Only the ALT value is high. Is this ok?
One thing to mention, I have been dealing with lower jaw pain under ear and neck pain since May month and going to different doctors, dentists for that. I have been taking many tablets in the last 6 months for this current issue. And during last week, endodontist prescribed antibiotics penicillin VK500 mg 3 times a day for a week for tooth inflammation suspecting that tooth might be the reason for my jaw and neck pain.
I finished the antibiotics on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning had the blood work for annual check. I took antibiotics for a week,3 times a day.
I have taken NSAIDs, muscle relaxers , nerve medicine for this issue in the past month. Is that the reason for this liver elevated value? I checked liver value in July 2020 and it was 15iu/L. But this time it was 55.
