Hey! I'm back... redid my labs and would love some feedback on these...

Old results from 4/16/2014:
ESR 2
RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, WBC all within normal range
Platelets within normal range
Urinalysis: clear, yellow, acidic, protein: 1, glucose: 0, Ketone: 0, Bilirubin: 0, Urobilinogen normal, blood-RBC: 0, blood-Hb: 0, leukocytes: 1, nitrites: neg.,
Urine sediment: RBC: a few, leukocytes: 5-6, squamous epithelial cells: some, bacteria: some
Metabolites and substrates: glucose, Creatinine, uric acid all within normal limits, s-urea 2.7
Enzymes: AST within normal limits, ALT 54
Trace elements: serum iron 31.4, UIBC: 22.3, TIBC: 53.7
Lipids: cholesterol and triglycerides within normal limits

After that, I was on antibiotics for a UTI, and here are the new results from 5/2/2014.

Thanks for your time, let me know what you think about these results.. cheers

Hey,
I'm 29 and went in for blood work because I've been feeling totally wiped out—just constant fatigue and brain fog. Honestly, I expected my results to show an iron deficiency, but instead... my ALT liver enzymes came back at 54 (normal range is 10-36), and my UIBC is 22.3 (normal is 26.0-59.0). Should I be sweating these liver numbers? My primary care doctor barely even glanced at the labs and just told me I'm healthier than most of her patients, which isn't exactly comforting... so I'd love to get some input here. I don't really drink, and I only take painkillers when absolutely necessary. I was on birth control until about two months ago.
Thanks in advance
