Some are: Your alkaline phos and alt are high, otherwise the other labs are within normal limits.

High ALT: Any licensed physician can work up an elevated alt / sgpt. It is essential to rule out hepatitis b, hepatitis c, wilson's, and hemochromatosis. All are treatable diseases that are likely to kill you if missed. You may never find the cause of the high alt -- it can be something as simple as taking a lot of Motrin or not exercising. Good luck.
