Get biopsied: I trust the alt is consistently high. I also trust you drink little or not at all, are not taking any meds including "holistic" ones, have had hepatitis b, hepatitis c, wilson's, antitrypsin deficiency, autoimmune hepatitis, and hemochromatosis checked for on your bloodwork and you're not an extreme athlete. Even if it's metabolic syndrome it's worth biopsying.
