Help with lab results your alp 209 ast 118 alt 66 bilirubin 1.7 plt 43 what does it mean?

Answer 1

It is essential to know the clinical history and findings in interpreting any kind of abnormal lab test result. AST at 118 is almost thrice the upper limit of normal in any adult person. ALT at 66 is twice the upper limit of normal. ALP ranges vary with test methods(some methods ending at 135 as the upper limit and some 217 as the upper limit in adults). Total Bilirubin is usually less than 1 if measured in mg/ dL. or mg %. Normal range for

Platelets expressed in x10^9/L is 140 to 440. So 43 indicates a low platelet count.

Clinically Is there (1) any evidence of hepatitis/cirrhosis/ alcohol related liver disease or (2) portal hypertension secondary to liver disease resulting in enlargement of spleen.

In the absence of other findings- it is not possible to interpret these results individually and come to any conclusion.
