A member asked:
My ammonia levels were slightly up but all my other liver test were within normal ranges what does this mean?

Need more info: It depends about what you mean by "slightly up". High ammonia revels are indicative of significant liver problems that can be life threatening. Since you indicate that your other liver tests are within normal range and your ammonia level is not markedly elevated I have to assume you have nothing to worry about.
