Not meaningful: 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, having ALT at the upper end of normal is not a cause for concern. No alcohol, avoid acetaminophen. Wish you good health!
