What do high alt levels in blood test indicate?

Dr. Ronald Krauser answered

Liver or muscle: Alt is a liver enzyme that is also present in muscle tissue. High levels could mean some inflammation of either of those areas but you need other, more specific tests to analyze the alt level correctly.

My bilirubin levels came back quite high (3.1 total) in my recent blood test. My AST is 31 and ALT is 34. My Alk Phos is a little low at 60. Is this something to be concerned about?

A member asked:

Bilirubin level is 20 (normal 0-20). Blood count and others all normal. GGT is 17 range of 0-37. Individual ALT and AST are normal (ALT is 13 range of 0-55 & AST is 24 range of 0-34). But ALT/AST ratio is high. Should I get further liver tests?
