Hello,

ALT varying between 55 and 62 is not a source of concern. Generally, we do worry if ALT is three times the normal range. So, it would be more of a problem if ALT was 120 and above.

On the other hand, due to her history of hepatitis, it may be advisable to repeat the tests for hepatitis to see if she has an active infection. Also, liver function tests such as albumin levels, INR should be checked to make sure her liver is functioning well.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
