Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
If the ALT/AST is increased then it should be seen if the bilirubin is increased .If there is increase in bilirubin then it is hepatitis or else it is a fatty liver with a high cholesterol.Your husband needs to take a healthy diet and keep away from fatty ;fried food .Please consult your doctor for a detailed diet plan and exercise to reduce the cholesterol.
Thanks
