You could be having a condition called Nash where the liver has an xcess of fat deposition which becomes inflamed. Certain pain medications you took for renal calculi could have pushed it higher. Alcohol use increases ast and alt. What does your ultrasound abdomen say? You could get a lead from there. Its not alarmingly high but its high enough to warrant a thorough evaluation. Take care.
