Brief Answer:
You are good, not to worry, avoid alcohol,
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Normal levels of AST and ALT may slightly vary depending on the individual laboratory's reference values. Typically the range for normal AST is reported between 10 to 40 units per liter and ALT between 7 to 56 units per liter. Mild elevations are generally considered to be 2-3 times higher than the normal range.
AST and ALT are reasonably sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions. But higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. It also depends on the entire clinical evaluation.
As you had mentioned that it had turned more to be normal, I would suggest you not to worry. I would have suggested you to have lot fruits, veritable and milk and mild milk products in your diet, avoid alcohol and meat for month or so. I would have suggested you to take liv 52 tab once daily for month and repeat of liver function test after month.
Presently based on the information provided I would suggest you not to worry.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
You are good, not to worry, avoid alcohol,
