I have been on Atorvastatin Tabs 10mg for over a year and now my liver enzymes are high - ALT 79 and AST 41 along with numerous other lab test including Hepatitis and HIV to rule out those. I am of the understanding that cholesterol meds cause damage to the liver. Should I worry? Now the doctor wants to order ultrasound to make sure there is nothing else going on that may be of concern. I am 56 and have had high cholesterol for the few years it has been checked about 4 years now. I weigh 160 5'8 and walk everyday about 45 minutes at a fast pace usually between 3 and 4 miles.
