Yes, LFT can show slight fluctuation, but major variations within hours need retesting under fasting. Please repeat the LFT test fasting for consistency. Take this to rule out variability.

In my blood report, my ALT level is 108 and AST level is 59.2. I was diagnosed with jaundice a few years ago. Could my past jaundice be the reason for these elevated liver enzymes?
