Detailed answer:
The liver function reports(ALT,AST) are within normal limit and suggest that your liver is functioning fine.ALT,AST levels are commonly elevated in viral hepatitis.However if you had succumbed to any risk for getting hepatitis B,advise you to screen for HBsAg(Surface antigen)assay test.Hope this information helps you.If any further questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
