High MCV High triglycerides high ast alt not an alcoholic high absolute lymph what can this be indicative of?

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.

What can cause high AST and LDH in liver function test?

In my case, I was told "non-alcoholic fatty liver." High blood cholesterol may cause high SGOT/AST and a specific LDH "type" (they can tell from whence the LDH originates) may be elevated. If they said liver, then fatty liver is usually the culprit. Habitual alcohol or certain medication use may cause fatty liver as well. Losing weight is said to help lower those two. Lowering blood cholesterol is important to help the "fatty liver" lessen it's load. In my case, years pass and more bloodwork reveals the same, plus leukemia and lymphoma. I am in poor general health, so I think the high AST & LDH are from the fatty liver and not the cancers. A CBC will inform your doctor if there are abnormalities that would point him/her away from fatty liver.
