Medcram, I had my liver function test done last week with my annual physical. Everything came back normal except my bilirubin, total bilitubin was 1.2 (normal is up to 1.0) and direct bilirubin was 0.20(normal is up to 0.18) what would be the cause?
My ALT is 32 and my AST is 24.. But my ALP is 137.. Apparently they didn't test my GGT.. Should I be concerned about the ALP being elevated?
THANK YOU
