Need more info : typically not *normal*, but depends on which "LFTs" and how high. there are a number of syndromes where any combination can be elevated in a benign process (gilbert's for example, can't conjugate bilirubin so it's high). you have UC so your docs need to keep a close eye on possibility of PSC. is that why you had the MRCP?

Since the last 20 years, I've issues of bloating after a heavy or spicy meal which goes away after a good sleep at night. My liver is always normal in the ultrasound and so are the LFTs. Does it indicate my liver is normal but weak to digest food?
