Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Liver markers AST and ALT should be below 40 IU, and bilirubin should be less than 20mmol. However, even higher liver markers values till 60 are acceptable,but alcohol should be in every case reduced and liver condition should be evaluetd with ultrasound and CT scan.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
