Hi Bizi!
I want to add a quick note.
ALT: This enzyme is primarily a muscle enzyme. If it is high, especially by itself, it's important to also consider any insults to muscles. This might include heart attack or something as simple as an IM injection (or: flu shot) or even exercising heavily.
It's critical to review with your physician with any elevated liver enzyme.

Always consult your own doctor!

Hope this helps, Bizi!
Love ya!
