Hi.
Thanks for posting query at HCM.

Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal ( in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal).

Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further.

viral hepatitis ( HAV,HBV,HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Typhoid fever may also affect liver and cause high liver enzymes.
be sure that HBV and HCV have been ruled out.

advice :
- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- reduce weight if overweight/obese

-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 months and/or ultrasound.

any further questions are welcomed.

hope to answer your concern.

wish you good health.

regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
