They measure different aspects of liver and other organ's health. I would use the lab's normal values. I would go to Wikipedia and read about them. For greater detail go to uptodate.com, pay a bit, and read all about them. They will have tables to help you understand what each one measures and what diseases make them go up and/or down. Then discuss with the Dr who ordered them and knows u.
