Hi Michelle,
The ALT/AST results are liver enzymes; something has them hopped up a little. Can you explain why the labs were ordered? Liver enzymes can be elevated for many reasons; alcohol, some Rx meds, viral hepatitis, etc. If you provide more info, perhaps someone in here can be of help.

Your liver enzyme levels are outside of the normal range which suggest some sort of issue involving your liver. There are many potential causes from medication your are taking to hepatitis. You should schedule a followup visit with your doctor or preferably a specialist to figure out what is going on. You should not just ignore this or assume it will go away.
