Hi,
How is your husband? Elevated Alanine transaminase  or ALT  may be attriubuted to a variety of issues such as  hepatitis, liver necrosis, liver ischemia, pancreatitis and even from intake of certain medications. Additional diagnostic tests and a repeat ALT test may be requested  for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
