70 is high, but nothing to be overly concerned over. Normal range is actually 0-40 but that's neither here nor there. The Drs usually don't get concerned until you're well over 100 anyway and mostly it can be put down to a little fat in the liver.

Have a look at your diet and drinking habits if you have any because these can have the slight impact you're experiencing...

Cheers.
