Help me understand my results

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello. 

I am female Australian living in Cambodia the past 8 years as a bar owner. I had my liver tested today from a local clinic and got the results from the doctor who spoke very little English other than to say 'big problem.' He prescribed me Vital 25mg 2 times per day and in 10 days a check up. 

I have the results. I need someone to help me understand the results because I didn't get enough information from the doctor. 

ASAT 136

ALAT 162

Any information or advice would be appreciate. I'm at my bar right now... 

Cheers,

Kamala

    they are little higher than normal liver enzymes, AST and ALT. 

    Do you have jaundice - yellowing of eyes and skin ? 

    If you drinking too much alcohol, you may stop that.

    I should point out in these results what is on my form - keeping in mind this was from a local clinic in Cambodia so I know nothing about this, but maybe level numbers are different elsewhere. 

    ASAT 136 (Normal: 5 - 33)

    ALAT 162 (Normal: 5 - 33)

    I'm 39. Alco. 

    Medication is - biphenyl dimethy (vital) 25mg
