General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I read your question carefully and can understand your concern very well.

I would like to enlighten you that AST and ALT are enzymes which levels are mostly raised during liver disorders like hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, carcinoma, etc.

I would like to know your age and weight, whether you have any kind of abdominal pain or other symptoms, whether you are taking any kind of medications for long term illness, whether you are taking alcohol or not, etc.

Because your AST and ALT both are on the higher side (normal usually less than 45), you need to be further evaluated to rule out any kind of liver injury.

I would advise you to go for ultrasound of abdomen to find out any kind of liver involvement and then come back to me after having results or consult your physician for further line of management.

Hope this answers your question and let me know directly if you have any further follow up queries, i will be glad to guide you further.
