Hi Dave,

I'm a medical writer, which means I see lab results from thousands of clinical trials patients. There so many reasons that you can have elevated ALP or ALT levels that you shouldn't necessarily worry.

One of the more common causes of NASH is metabolic syndrome. How are your glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride numbers?
