my wbc is8.3 (4.4-11.3) and my lymphocytes-abs are 3.62 (0.6-3.4) is this bad
An elevated ALT level in dogs can be a sign of liver disease. It can be caused by a number of different toxins in the liver and something as simple as a poor dog food can cause elevated levels.
ALT can be elevated in hepatitis (infectious or metabolic) or cirrhosis. It can also be elevated if you have obstruction around the gallbladder.
viral hepatitis
probably bone related
chronic liver issue (cirrhosis or cancer)...
ALT and AST can be elevated in many diseases, but are indicators of the health of the liver. If they are both elevated then there is something going on with the liver, but without more information, or without knowing their numbers I wouldn't be able to give a reliable diagnosis. Some of the causes of elevated ALT and AST are: alcoholism, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and some blood disorders, but there are many more.
An elevated ALT count means that there is something wrong with the liver. Possible liver injury, hepatitis, or too much alcohol.
An elevated SGPT or ALT level is a measure of liver function. It might suggest muscle problems, heart problems, or excess alcohol intake.
Yes, reducing alcohol consumption can help lower elevated levels of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). These liver enzymes are released into the bloodstream when the liver is damaged, commonly due to excessive alcohol intake. By reducing alcohol consumption, the liver has a chance to recover and the levels of AST and ALT can decrease.
along with the AST the ALT gives you a good overview of your liver enzymatic function. Diabetes and alcoholism will among some other diseases like Alpha 1 will give you elevated results.
High MCV, high triglycerides, high AST and ALT with raised lymphocytes most likely indicates some form of hepatitis (liver inflammation), most likely viral, possibly bacterial. AST and ALT are enzymes that normally reside in liver cells and when they are damaged, they leak into the blood. High MCV also known as macrocytosis can occur in liver damage and the high lymphocyte count indicates your body is fighting some sort of infection.
Yes. As an example, in one study of children with acute rotavirus infection (an extremely common cause of diarrheal ilnesses), the majority of them had elevated AST/ALT levels, usually modest such as up to twice the upper limit of normal range.
