How do you balance the risks versus benefits of starting a statin in a patient with MASLD and a persistent but mild elevation in their AST/ALT?

I no longer hesitate to start a statin despite mild ast/alt elevation. I might just check lfts again in a few months, but if there is a clear indication for the statin we go ahead and do it.
