These tests were part of annual health check up provided by my company. Ultrasound for abdomen was done and verbally doctor said everything is ok but formal result report is still awaited.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.

The ALT and ALP are not significantly raised.
You have no symptoms.
The ultrasound scan is also normal.

I would advise you to repeat the liver function after 4 weeks. If it shows persistent raise further evaluation may be planned.
