Yes but uncommon : It is still possible but unlikely. You could have had hepatitis in the past with liver injury and development of scarring. Genetic problem could also predispose one to cirrhosis. The normal liver values just means you are not having active liver injury at present but the scarring had already taken place.

A 31-year-old male asked:
How bad are these values for liver enzymes? How high would they have to be to cause hepatitis or cirrhosis? And how long would it take for them to drop back to normal levels? GOT/AST: 533 Units/L GOT/ ALT: 338 Units/L Thank you?

A 33-year-old female asked:
I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?

Can you have liver cirrosis if sgpt, sgot, gamma GT and alkaline are normal. No alcohol drinking, no hepatitis b or c? Do cirosis cause macrocanemia?
