Hi, i have gone through your question. i can understand your concern. Your alt level is very high. Normal level is 0 to 40 unit. It is liver enzyme. Its level increase in most of the liver disease. You need to go for complete liver function test to know the cause of high alt. Go for it according to your doctor's advice. First search the cause and then take treatment accordingly.
