Hi,

Thank you for asking your query on HealthcareMagic.
As per your history, your ALT value is high normal. Since you are not a regular drinker nor have any symptoms, this can be considered as normal. The value of ALT should be 2-3 times the normal range to be of significance.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know in case of any further query.

Best,
Dr Vishesh
