A higher than normal ALT level does not necessarily mean more serious disease. Also known as: Serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, SGPT.    Formal name: Alanine aminotransferase.\n\nNormal results\nNormal values vary from laboratory to laboratory, and should be available to your physician at the time of the test. An informal survey of some laboratories indicates many laboratories find values from approximately seven to 50 IU/L to be normal.\n\nAbnormal results\nLow levels of ALT (generally below 300 IU/L) may indicate any kind of liver disease. Levels above 1,000 IU/L generally indicate extensive liver damage from toxins or drugs, viral hepatitis, or a lack of oxygen (usually resulting from very low blood pressure or a heart attack). A briefly elevated ALT above 1,000 IU/L that resolves in 24-48 hours may indicate a blockage of the bile duct. More moderate levels of ALT (300-1,000IU/L) may support a diagnosis of acute or chronic hepatitis.\nIt is important to note that persons with normal livers may have slightly elevated \nAs can be seen 87 above 50 but less than 300 but not serious enough.  But take all care for not damaging the liver further and this can also be due to muscle damage and not necessarily liver.\nVR

Only maybe.\n\n1st NEVER, never take a test without drinking glass upon glass of water the day before and the morning of, you should be p'ing clear.  Then take a b-vitamin that morning, it will add the yellow back to your urine.  Pop a couple rolaids 15 minutes or so before the test, drink a little more water. \n\nWhen filling out paperwork, inform of the vitamins and rolaids, just say you take everyday.\n\nBut if you were "pretty yellow" your urine was full of waste products, the thc will probably show up.  How heavy are you?  The heavier you are, the longer THC stays in the system, as it attaches to fat cells.  So if thinner, you have a better chance of being "clean". \n\nGood luck

Q. What does the liver do?\n\nA. The liver:\n\nStores iron reserves, as well as vitamins and minerals \nMakes bile to help digest food \nDetoxifies poisonous chemicals, including alcohol, beer, wine, and drugs - prescribed and over-the-counter as well as illegal substances \nStores energy by stockpiling sugar (carbohydrates, glucose and fat) until you need it \nMakes your blood \nManufactures new proteins \nMakes clotting factors to help blood clot \nRemoves poisons from the air, exhaust, smoke and chemcials we breathe. \n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nTHE LIVER AND NUTRITION\n\nQ. What does nutrition have to do with your liver?\n\nA. Everything we eat, breathe and absorb through our skin must be refned and detoxified by the liver, so special attention to nutrition and diet can help keep the the liver healthy.\n\nQ. Why is the liver so important in nutrition?\n\nA. 85-90% of the blood that leaves the stomach and intestines caries important nutrients to the liver where they are converted into substances the body can use.\n\nQ. Can poor nutrition cause liver disease?\n\nA. It is actually much more likely that poor nutrition is the result of chronic liver disease, not the cause. On the other hand, good nutrition - a balanced diet with adequate calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates - can actually help the \n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe liver is the largest organ in the body. It is located below the diaphragm in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity. An adult's liver weighs approximately 3 pounds and extends approximately from the right 5th rib to the lower border of the rib cage. \n\n\n\nThe liver is separated into a right and left lobe, separated by the falciform ligament. The right lobe is much larger than the left lobe. The working cells of the liver are known as hepatocytes. Hepatocytes have a unique capacity to reproduce in response to liver injury. Liver regeneration can occur after surgical removal of a portion of the liver or after injuries that destroy parts of the liver. Although the liver's ability to react to damage and repair itself is remarkable, repetitive insults can produce liver failure and death. \n\nThe liver is a metabolically active organ responsible for many vital life functions. The primary functions of the liver are: \n\nBile production and excretion \nExcretion of bilirubin, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs \nMetabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates \nEnzyme activation \nStorage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals \nSynthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin, and clotting factors \nBlood detoxification and purification \nDue to these important activities, the liver is exposed to a number of insults and is one of the body's organs most subject to injury. \n\nThe biliary system consists of the gallbladder, and the hepatic, cystic, and common bile ducts.The gallbladder is located beneath the right lobe of the liver. The primary function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. Bile is comprised of bile salts, bilirubin, phospholipids, cholesterol, bicarbonate and water. Bile salts mix with ingested fats to promote absorption of fats from the gastrointestinal tract. Bilirubin, cholesterol, and phospholipids are end products of metabolism. Bicarbonate and water are needed in the gastrointestinal tract to help neutralize stomach acid, as digestion and absorption require an alkaline environment. \n\nAfter it's formation in the liver, bile flows into the hepatic duct. The hepatic duct joins with the cystic duct of the gallbladder to form the common bile duct, which then enters the duodenum at the ampulla of Vater. The sphincter of Oddi surrounds the ampulla of Vater. When food in the gastrointestinal canal enters the duodenum, cholecystokinin is released from the duodenal mucosa to stimulate contraction of the gallbladder and common bile duct, and relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi so that

Yes, most likely this drug will show up on an abused drug screening, particularly if it is taken daily.  However if you have a prescription for this medication and disclose this before the test a positive result will not be held against you.

Elevation of this enzymes mean liver desease.\n\nThe most important here is take care of your liver.\n\nIf the liver's ok the enzymes will decrease by their own.\n\nhttp://img507.imageshack.us/img507/7492/fspike8ez.gif?

Meth will work quicker

I believe all of it requires processing , doesn't it? Meth has to be the worse for the required chems to make it and the nasty by products, stuff like muriatic acid , MEK (methyl ethyl keytone) red phosphorous , acetone , starter fluid , etc.

It should not have an affect on the test results given that the urine and blood come from two different places.  If the sample was done properly, no blood should be in your urine.  They should be able to test the urine for what they are looking for with no problem.\n\nIf your doctor calls with the test results and it shows signs of blood, make sure you explain that you were on your period so they can have a better understanding of the test results.\n\nGood Luck!

Those are anti-HIV medications aren't they?\n\nI'm not sure about the drug interactions - but I know that Meth makes HIV replicate at a higher rate than when you're not using meth.  Essentially, you're getting more infectious and making yourself sicker everytime you use meth.\n\nMeth also affects the same neurotransmitters in the brain that HIV does.  Many meth users with AIDS progress to dementia much sooner than non-meth using AIDS patients.\n\nIf you're not concerned about your own health, that's your own perrogitive.  I really hope you're protecting your partners though by wearing a condom, or making them wear one.

Methamphetamines in general mimick the neurotransmitters Epinephrine and Norepinephrine. These are naturally produced in the body and regulated by other neurotransmitters. The meth will bind to the receptors for those neurotransmitters resulting in a stimulant effect of high magnitude. The more you use the drug the more tolerant the body becomes and the less natural epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced by the body to compensate for the excess(as it recognizes the drug as the neurotransmitter and will quit producing it over time). This results in a higher threshold to get "high" and therefore more of the drug required. At the same time the body is become dependant on the artificial supply being given to the body and the user becomes physically as well as psychologically dependant. The drug itself is extremely corrosive causing widespread damage to any and all tissue it comes in contact with, ultimately resulting in perferated septum, rotting teeth and gums, erroding esophagus, failing kidneys, etc, etc, etc. Dependant users get to the point that they will give up anything to get the drug, ultimately costing them their jobs, their relationships, their dignity and their life.

smoke a little weed.  It will help you to calm down, and you won't be so nervous.\n\nApparently Chrystal Meth means you won't care about the test.\n\nCoke will make you think you can beat it.\n\nAnd Ketamine may well kill you, so you won;t have to take the test anyway.\n\nIf you need a hany hoplding your peepee for the test, you have probably been stupid enough to do drugs, so don't bother with the test.  If you have, you have already given up on yourself, so why should anyone else care?

Alcohol is normally metabolized rather quickly. Factors such as a "full" stomach, impared liver function can prolong its stay.\nUA consists of measurement of solutes like glucose, protein, ketones, etc. An extremely dilute urine can result in a 1+ rather than a 2+ reading.  Also the "specific gravity" is lower in a dilute urine. Thats why Drs usually specify a first morning specimen.

it depends on how much you were doing and for how long and how much water you drink. i have a friend who was a super heavy user like 2 -3 grams a day and was quite stout body shape he went to detox and was clean for a week and still tested postive for meth!?! and he hadn't done any at all for 1 week!! so i recommend drinking as much h20 and green tea as possible. and this is a must, if you have access to a steam room go in for 10 - 15 minutes twice a day or take epson salt baths this will make you sweat out the toxins like mad. it also makes you feel super wired cause it is releasing any of the speed stored in your system. its also an amazing way to detox. also take alot of b12 to give you energy. good luck

If you took two hits and haven't taken anything else, then more than likely it won't show up. Urine samples make up a majority of the drug tests used today and they are not that accurate. I used to administer them and there are a certain percentage of "allowable" residues that show up on the tests all the time. These low levels are included because of all the false negatives that would show up if they weren't. Therefore you should be fine. But as mentioned, you should always drink plenty of water to further dilute the sample.

alchohol is a depressant as in "downer" and meth is an "upper" stimulant combined the confuse your brain activity and heart and can cause a heart attack and even death
