Hello. I am 26, 6' 1" and 175 lbs. I went to get blood work done after a 3 year gap. I do not drink often (once every month or 2) and typically get plenty of excersize by jogging or weight lifting. My blood work came back with everything good but ALT was 47 with a listed cap of 44. Should I be worried?

      I feel the same as I have for a while. Nothing crazy.

      I tend to trust how I feel in the absence of anything else.  LFT results can bounce around as well as appear normal with disease.  I take them as a piece of data at a point in time and not a call to action.

    47 is not even in the slightest bit high.
