What are the typical results of a liver function panel test ?

A liver function panel test typically measures several markers in the blood to assess liver health and detect potential liver damage. The key components and their normal ranges include:

1. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): 7-56 units per liter (U/L). Elevated levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation.
2. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): 10-40 U/L. Like ALT, high levels suggest liver injury.
3. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): 44-147 U/L. Elevated levels can indicate bile duct obstruction, liver disease, or bone disorders.
4. Total Bilirubin: 0.1-1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). High bilirubin levels may suggest jaundice, liver dysfunction, or bile duct issues.
5. Direct Bilirubin: 0-0.3 mg/dL. Elevated direct bilirubin can indicate liver or bile duct problems.
6. Albumin: 3.5-5.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL). Low albumin levels can indicate chronic liver disease or malnutrition.
7. Total Protein: 6.3-7.9 g/dL. This measures the overall amount of protein in the blood, which includes albumin and globulin.

Abnormal results can suggest various conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, or bile duct obstruction. Further testing is often required to pinpoint the exact cause.
