Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your elevated ALT and AST result yes you need to be worried reason because it signifies a liver disease

Liver disease with elevated liver enzymes include
Hepatitis
Liver cirrhosis
Hepatocellular cancer
liver abscess

Please see a hepatologist specialist for expert management

Regarding your kidney stone I will suggest you see an urologist specialist and you will need any of the following treatment
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotrispsy
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
Open surgical interventional procedures
Ureterscopy therapeutic procedures

I hope this helps
Regards and get well soonest
