A member asked:
Are low levels of alt dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: High alts may indicate problems, but low normal alts are fine. They are never dangerous in themselves. There are a few rare diseases where alts may be very low. If it was way below low normal, ask your doc to recheck.
