I am a 52 year old woman i had recent blood work done my alt was 41. all other liver panels where normal. would i need additional testing because according to the lab it is out of range. not taking any statins been using voltaren on knee 2 weeks?

All lab results must be discussed with your prescribing physician. Only(S)he can give you an answer that correlates with your history, meds, physical examination, and imaging.

In labs that I've had experience with alt upper limit of normal is 55. If your level was indeed elevated, repeat it after being off voltaren for 2 weeks. I assume alcohol intake hasn't been the cause.

Mild elevation of an ALT liver enzyme is a sign of liver inflammation liver disease or liver infection or medication side effects.Common causes are fatty liver from diabetes or being overweight or viral hepatitis such as hepatitis type A B or C , Hemachromatosisp alcoholic liver disease. It’s important to do a Thorough lab work up of even mild elevation of liver enzymes to look for these causes
