What Does My CT Scan Report Indicate?

I have just received my blood tests taken 30/10/15
Some of these tests were ALSO taken oct 2014
Tot. Protein 68 RECENT 75 Ranges (65-85)
ALP 70 RECENT 97 THE RANGES THEY GIVE ARE (<60)
ALT 15 RECENT 19 (30-110)
AST 20 RECENT 31 (<55)
LD NOT DONE. RECENT 224 (110-230)
LIPASE NOT DONE. RECENT 9 (<60)
Most of them have increased over a year is this normal.
And also the LD to me that seems on the high side.
Im one of those people that is the last to catch a cold or a bug, if at all. And as far as eating, I have always had a huge appetite, and now its just like thinking of eating makes me feel sick. But im still bloated, and feel as if i have just finished a five course meal. But im always thirsty.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Sorry for replying late.
Findings are almost normal.
ALP is mildly increased.It is a non specific finding and it increases in many conditions.
LD level is acceptable.It is also not an organ specific finding.
As we discussed earlier,you may need endoscopy after evaluation.
I presume blood sugar level and Urine RE/ME has been estimated.It may be related to always thirty feeling.
