What Is The Normal ALT Level?
Question: What is the normal range for liver enzyme ALT test? Low to high
Brief Answer:
10-40units/liter
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Normal ALT level in males is 10-40units /liter or 0.17-0.68 microkats /liter.
Mild increase in level is seen in alcoholics. Usually less then 100 is unlikely to cause any problems, so it is not taken of much significance.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Mine came back as a 53 on a regular check up and my doctor has me freaked out. I had an ultrasound and she wants me back in 3 months.I drink socially not an alcoholic.
Brief Answer:
don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Don't worry 53 is not that much raised. If such a patient comes to me I don't advise any further treatment .
There is no much need for further ultrasound. You may get ALT every 6 months once. If it is increasing then liver protective drugs may be taken.
Hope I have been helpful .

As such nothing is needed. But still for safer side you may reduce intake of fried items, butter and ghee, junk foods.
