What conditions other than liver problems can cause increased ALT? ALT is more specific for the liver than AST and so is much less affected by conditions affecting other parts of the body. Nevertheless, injury to organs other than the liver, such as the heart and skeletal muscle, can cause elevations of ALT. For example, small increases may be seen with skeletal muscle damage or heart attacks. ^ Back to top.

The Sea of Japan is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, between the Asian mainland, the Japanese archipelago and Sakhalin.It is bordered by Japan, North Korea, Russia and South Korea.Like the Mediterranean Sea, it has almost no tides due to its nearly complete enclosure from the Pacific Ocean. This isolation also reflects in the fauna species and in the water salinity, which is lower than in the ocean.he use of the term Sea of Japan as the dominant name is a point of contention. South Korea wants the name East Sea to be used, either instead of or in addition to Sea of Japan; while North Korea prefers the name East Sea of Korea.
