A member asked:

Hi.my alt is 42 and ast is 21 should i be concerned..iam from australia.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your ALT is very slightly elevated but it is not a cause for concern.
