Have Liver Panel Results. Can Any Online Doctor Help?

My Liver Panel results came back with an AST value of 67, ALT 122, Direct Bilirubin of 0.19. I had taken Valerian 2 capsules for 3 - 4 nights before the tests as well as alcohol. Could this have impacted the test result? I dont have any symptoms of liver diease or anything, though I do have a BMI on the higher side and fat around my waistline.

for how many years your consuming alcohol? and how much amount per day.Do you have any drug taking history? continous consuming of alcohol gives a high alt. also as you said you have fat around waist line it can be due to a non alcoholic fatty liver. please do an abdominal ultrasound find out what is your liver status.
thanks
