Question by laura_eva_b: Are Blood Tests Conclusive for indicating Liver & Kidney Health ?
I have 6 monthly checks ….

My most recent ALT is 16 IU/L (normal < 56) And my Creatinine is 87 umol/L (normal 62 - 133) Should this re-assure me that my abuse of alcohol has caused no long term damage .... (and no I'm not looking for a "green light" to go on swigging the Chardonnay !) ... ? Best answer:

Yes, ur levels are fine, but note as you grow older your liver and kidney function (with the rest of your body) will decline. Don’t get scared it’s just a way of life and that’s how our body’s are. Now if you drink you will accelerate those “aging” processes. But science has shown that drinking “some” alcohol is good for you, just as long as you don’t over do it. For example: drinking 1 glass of 6-8oz of wine with dinner has cardiovascular benefits…..drinking 2-3 bottels of wine per night doesn’t…..conclusion: all with moderation.
