Blood test - what to get tested?

My husband got his bloods back today and almost everything came out good. However his Liver Functions were all marginally elevated. ALT/AST & LFT
The doctor offered an ultrasound but we just said we'd go back for another test in 8 weeks.
I figured since he came down with a cold that day it would be related to that.

Anyone else got similar results before?

Yes afew years ago I had this problem and my doctor couldn't figure it out. Afew months ago I was googling stuff about blood tests and found something that said intense exercise afew days before a blood test can elevate liver enzymes. Hope this helps because sometimes I find doctors to not be that helpful.

Hmm, could be just pushing yourself too much?

I'm sure you're used to doms etc.. but depending upon your workout schedule every-week, you might just be over-training.
