Liver Function Tests (LFTs)

[m0ddy1!]

What is a normal score for an LFT for a person with a perfectily healthy liver?

[PurplePixie]

It's a combination of different tests.To get a picture of how your liver is functioning, they look at;

bilirubin...17 is about normal

phosphatatase....25.92

protein.....60-80g

transaminases...22 for a male & 17 for a female

That's as much as I know & it's always best to have a chat with your Dr. You are entitled to know as much as you want about your results, and he/she should be happy to explain if you ask.

Depends on how detailed it is but this should help ....

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) - <35 IU/L

Aspartate aminotransferase((AST) - <35 IU/L (20-48)

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) - 33 - 131 IU/L (over 60's: 51 - 153 IU/L)

Bilirubin - Total:0.2 -1.2mg/dl; Direct: <0.3 mg/dl

These figures relate to clotting ;
