Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, you are not having hepatitis.

Hepatitis can occur following viral infection mostly termed as Hepatitis Virus.

You are only having high AST and ALT. Which is not making you a candidate for hepatitis. You have to test yourself for the hepatitis if you are infected by virus your test comes as positive.
