AST=39.6,ALT=38 AST/ALT ratio= 1.04. OK?
I had a blood test in February this year. My AST=39.6, ALT= 38, total protein= 8, albumin=4.8. The blood test I had in June 2019 revealed following figures AST= 39.8 , ALT= 36.7, TOTAL PROTEIN= 8.1, albumin= 4.86 or 4.9.  I have uploaded 1 merged photo of all tests related to liver profile of both 2019(upper portion of the image, age 23) and 2020(lower portion of the image, age 24), so that you can compare. I have full body blood test report too for both years, in case you want to check something else, I can upload pics. I have shown this year's reports to a nutritionist/dietician, she has advised me supplements for iron, vit D, B12 and biotin. Please tell whether the liver profile is fine. If not, what should I do? The things made me think are AST is above normal range according to the lab, Albumin is at the highest end of the normal range mentioned by the Lab, and AST/ALT ratio is more than 1. P.S.: I don't drink alcohol, in fact I've never drunk alcohol and I am a pure vegetarian.

Hi, the blood tests by themselves don't complete the picture. I need to know your weight and BMI. Overweight people may have mild derangements in liver function tests owing to fatty liver.
Next Steps
Get your weight and BMI tested, and an ultrasound of the abdomen to characterise the liver size and identify any fatty infiltration.
