Liver function: ALT of 34 may be normal depending on the lab where the blood work was obtained. There are many other factors that effect ALT, including medications, and viral infections. It is reassuring that the remainder of your liver panel is normal.

I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?

9 year every day drinking history (quit 50 days ago). US showed normal sized homogenous liver. AST 9. ALT 15. PLT 340. Albumin 4.9. 8 spider angiomas although some present since pregnancy. Others small and I just noticed them. Cirrhosis likely?
