Is it bad if my ast is 48 and my alt is 40 after they were in normal range and i've lost 85lbs?

Not fatty liver?: Hepatitis is defined as inflammation of liver cells, as is indicated by elevation in serum transaminases (ast and/or alt). Hepatitis can be caused by a variety of issues (infectious, ischemic, metabolic, toxic, infiltrative, alcohol-related, drugs, etc.). It is impossible to say why your liver tests are elevated without more information--so, what tests have been done & what has been ruled out?

Is it bad for AST to be higher than ALT? Both are within normal range. My AST is 12 and my ALT is 9.
AST. ALT and Alkaline Phosphatate levels have been continuously decreasing for several years but are still in the normal range. Is that good or bad?
ALT is 63, AST normal range. I am obese, high triglycerides, bad eating, and pretty sedentary. Diet and exercise to get levels down? Any supplements you would recommend in addition? I hear the liver is resilient, responds well to lifestyle changes.
What do these results indicate? Low AST 13 (15-37 u/l range) and ALT 34 (30-65u/l) normal?
Is an ALT of 50 and AST of 32 considered high normal since it is still in the standard range? Are these levels anything to worry about?
