A member asked:
I am a hepb carrier. my liver panel is as follows: pt high 9.1(range 6.4-8.2), globulin high 4.9 (2.2-4.2), ag ratio low 0.9(1.0-2.5) and everything else is normal. do i need to worry?

See below: Low a/g ratio reflects liver disease. Elevated pt indicates blood takes longer time to clot; so u r at greater risk of prolonged bleeding or easy bruising. Doc handling your case may recommend vitamin k supplement or prescribe vitamin k to prevent bleeding from minor injuries.

Not enough infotmati: Need more information as to complete liver function tests including liver enzymes etc .Even though the pt and ag ratio is abnormal that does not tell the whole story.So I am sorry we can not add more towards the prognosis.But i will advice you to continue to follow up with your doctors and be careful, don't drink and follow your doctors advice.Recheck lfts and pt.We can not tell activity of hep b.
