Hello,

The alt is not that high so firstly do not get upset as it's not a serious problem.

Well as you have no sign and symptoms of any sorts of I were your doctors I would have rechecked the medications that you are taking nowadays as some medications cause a mild elevation in alt.

The second thing is to measure your weight and do an ultrasound for the liver. Sometimes fatty liver can give raised alt. Both are benign conditions, don't worry and visit your GP.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
