Best Practices for Assessing Minimally Elevated Liver Tests
from GI Insights
Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Paul Kwo, MD While sometimes overlooked, minimally elevated liver tests may signal early liver disease or non-hepatic conditions like thyroid dysfunction. As a result, interpreting ALT and AST thresholds, assessing metabolic risk, and reviewing lifestyle factors can help shape a focused diagnostic approach and reduce liver-related complications. Joining Dr. Peter Buch to provide insights into the evaluation of minimally elevated liver tests is Dr. Paul Kwo, who’s a Professor of Medicine and Director of Hepatology at Stanford University.
