Liver Function Tests

ALT, AST, Bilirubin direct/indirect, protein, albumin, alkaline phosphates, etc.

Please help me understand what the blood levels mean and how they are interpreted. How can the doctor determine if it’s alcohol related? Medication induced? Gall bladder related? Something else?

Here’s a scenario to add context: Patient suddenly has very high ALT (175) & AST (75) but all other values are in the normal range, including other non-LFT blood panels. What would this typically indicate and what would be the next course of action?

You need to speak to your doctor. Do not ask strangers online for medical advice. Your doctor and only your doctor can interpret your medical test results for you.
