Question 1

my sgot, sgtp, and alk phos levels are low what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Nothing : Refrence ranges are set so that A few percent of healthies fall outside on either side. Low values for these tests never mean anything if you appear healthy

Question 2

liver enzymes are high alt/sgpt is at 107 u/l and ast/sgot os at 37 u/l and alk phos is at 29 u/l  and mono% is 11.8% and neut% is 41.2%. whats wrong?

Accepted Answer

Get a workup: Your physician may have you stop alcohol & meds & repeat; if normal it's your warning. Otherwise a check for hepatitis b & c, hemochromatosis, wilson's, autoimmune hepatitis, and a1at deficiency may be in order; all but the last are very treatable but likely to kill if ignored. If all normal, maybe a fitness lifestyle focus is in your future to your benefit. Cell %'s are worthless viewed alone.

Question 3

should i be concerned that my alk  phos was 143 alt and ast were 13? i also had low neutrophils and neutro absolute high basophils?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The alk phos is slightly elevated, and the ast is fine.  Is the low neut a percent or absolute number.  Percent would be a non issue. A few extra basophils also unlikely to be significant.

Question 4

my bilirubin levels came back quite high (3.1 total) in my recent blood test.  my ast is 31 and alt is 34. my alk phos is a little low at 60. is this something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it is abnormal, your doctor will explain it to you and you may need further testing.
Gilbert syndrome, a benign condition, can have isolated high bilirubin when blood is drawn with fasting, but usually bilirubin level is less than 2.

Question 5

hi, bun 15mg(norm), creatinine 0.52mg(low), bun/creat ratio 28.8(high), egfrcr 127ml, alk phos 72u/l, ast 18u/l, alt 19u/l. my creatinine level (which keeps dropping) and bun/creat ratio worries me. kidney, liver or any other issue i need to worry?

Accepted Answer

: No, not at all.  Your liver and kidney function are in excellent shape.  Increasing the level of exercise would be of help in decreasing BUN/creatinine ratio.

Question 6

alk phos undetecable, ast and alt are ~1.5x uln.  sister has celiac - i've never been tested.  is low alk phos seen in celiac?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Alkaline phosphate is not a particular test for celiac disease. More information is needed to address your elevated enzymes. If you are overweight, it would be prudent to lose weight. If you drink alcohol, stop entirely.

Question 7

my ast/alt/alk phos and mch are high. doctor at er said to monitor it but nothing to worry about. i'm freaking out. ?

Accepted Answer

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, it would have helped to have the actual values. If you drink, stop that and you may wish to get tested for hepatitis. It is not a reason to freak out as there is no imminent danger to your health from minor elevations of these.

Question 8

would a high alk phos(255), alt(69) and ast(37) levels be normal after a splenectomy 1 year later? also dont have a gallbladder? should also mention i have celiacs and ulcerative colitis?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on the cause of the abnormal liver enzyme levels and perhaps the reason splenectomy was done. Splenectomy usually has no significant effect on liver function. Discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 9

fasting blood work. total bilirubin 1.5, direct bili 0.2, alk phos 44, ast 24, alt 20, albumin 4.4, tot protein 6.6. is high total bili concerning?

Accepted Answer

Not unless its inc--: reasing. Every Lab has its own Reference range, so checking with your PCP would be the best as None of us would have a clue to the Reference your lab uses.
Overall your numbers are not terribly high, except the Alk phos, I think.
Best check with your PCP and maybe  repeat the tests after 4-6 weeks time.
Good Luck

Question 10

my blood test came back with my ast-253 alt-217 and alk phos-145.0 are these readings dangerously high? i have hep c and cirrhosis of the liver

Accepted Answer

These : These lab results are consistent with your condition, and indicate an advanced disease process. You need to be followed closely by your doctor. If you have abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin, vomiting blood, etc. Present to the er at once. Otherwise continue to follow up with your doctor and avoid alcohol, fatty foods, and foods with high salt content. Also avoid tylenol (acetaminophen) and advil.
Take care.
