Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Though the normal ranges of the labs vary, AST and ALT are normal taking into consideration all variables. Creatinine phosphokinase may be taken as borderline high by some labs and should only be seriously considered if you have any symptoms of muscle pain or chest pain. I think you should discuss the report with your doctor.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

According to one website, in healthy adults, the serum creatine kinase level has varying factors such as race, gender and activity, but the normal range is 22 - 198 U/L (units per liter).
With that as the range, it would seem yours was normal then.  
AST 5-40 U/liter is normal another site says, and yours would fall then in normal range and the same site says 7-56 U/liter is normal for ALT, and again, yours would be normal.
