I recently had a liver resection to cut out ocular melanoma metastasis. what would you expect to be elevated in the blood work results 10 days out?

Many things: It would not be unexpected for many of the serum measurements to be out of normal limits. Liver enzymes, obviously; but elecrtolytes as well as hemoglobin and hematocrit can be off due to intravenous supplementation. It may take four to six week to normalize.

ALT AST : It's more important if any symptoms ie pain fever in relation to blood work so soon after resection
