I just had a comprehensive metabolic panel done and my ast is 51, my bun/creatinine ratio is 6, and my triglycerides are 251. idk what all this means?

Need more info: 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, these could be from drinking alcohol, taking certain medications and from being overweight. BUN creatinine ratio is okay.
