My recent Liver Function Test results are as follows: Bilirubin Total: 0.65 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10) Bilirubin Direct: 0.17 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 0.20) Bilirubin Indirect: 0.48 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10) AST (SGOT): 28.5 U/L (Normal: 18.0 to 37.0) ALT (SGPT): 47.3 U/L (Normal: 0.0 to 40.0) Could you please explain what these results mean? Is there any concern, particularly with the ALT being slightly above normal?

Slightly elevated ALT (SGPT) could be due to fatty liver, alcohol, medications, or infections. If asymptomatic, focus on a liver friendly diet, avoid alcohol, and retest after a few weeks.

I have fatty liver for the last 6 months and my skin has darkened. When I touch below the belly button, it gives me pain. I also have a problem emptying bowels. An abdominal USG gave results of fatty infiltration and kidney stones of very small size.

I am 4 months pregnant and was taking 100 mg iron tablets with no issues. After moving to a new city, my new doctor prescribed 500 mg iron tablets. Within 15 days, my LFT levels have increased dramatically, reaching levels similar to primary liver cirrhosis. My recent liver function test report: SGOT: 193 U/L SGPT: 257 U/L GGT: 65 U/L ALP: 338 U/L Direct Bilirubin: 0.60 mg/dL
