A member asked:
How concerned should i be about a slightly elevated alt with a normal ast? i do have high cholesterol but have not started mess yet.

3 Questions: 1) are you obese? Think fatty liver disease. 2) could you ever have been exposed to hepatitis c? This can cause persistent low level elevations. 3) are you taking any meds with liver interactions. That said, 2.5% of the population will have slightly elevated alt just because of the way they set the "normal" range for the lab values.
