<s>[INST] I had a high ALT of 59. I have had that before. I think it might be alcohol related as I stopped drinking the first time and it dropped. I don't drink near as much now but it is up again. I have been having 2 - 3 glasses of wine a day I suppose that is the culprit. I am 47 180 pounds 5'10". Otherwise healthy except for cholesterol at 240ish. [/INST] HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe normal range of ALT can vary slightly from one lab to the other but in general the range is from 7 to 56 U/l.Your value is slightly above this upper limit and would not reflect significant impairment to the liver.It is possible that alcohol could contribute to the slight increase. Other causes are (1)infection though the value would normally be higher and they would be additional symptoms(2)non alcoholic fatty liver- this is usually related to diet and decreased physical activity(3)side effect of medication(4)traumaYou can try the reduced alcohol use to see if it helps reduce the value.I hope this helps </s>
