Retest in 1-2 months: Low grade elevations in transaminases (ALT/AST <5x upper limit of normal) are common, and there are many things that can cause them to go up. It's probably not related to dietary iron. I would suggest having your LFT's checked again in 1-2 months. If it is still elevated your PCP can do a workup for the most common causes of elevated Transaminases.
