Hello, let me introduce a post as a little disgression between such an interesting discussion about dehydration and hematocrit:

Taking up again the issue of the first post, I would like to comment my GOT and GPT are always slightly above than normal. My case was studied by specialists of internal medicine, and of course, by my sport doctor. Results finally rejected having some disease. The internal doctor said me such a increase in GOT and GPT are derived from the strong exercise.
In fact, I took a break in my training to see if those enzimes started to go down. Certainly , they went down , but remained a bit higher than normal. And after that last blood test, sport doctor recommend me doing vigorous exercise(cycling) for a fortnight and check my blood again right after this period of hard training. Surprisingly, the enzimes remained at the same level as after the break.
I actually go on training and doctor advised me to check those enzimes every year. Because of the circumstances I told you above, he let me keep on training and competing.
I would thank you a lot any suggestions about this issue. Is it possible(and not harmfull) having GOT and GPT slightly above than standard healthy levels?

Thank you again and greetings from Spain;
