Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!
Albumin and globulins are kinds of protein in the blood. They perform various functions in body. They serves to transport vitamins, minerals and hormones (Albumin) and some hormones, lipids, metals, and antibodies (globulins)
The normal A/G ratio is 0.8-2.0.
AST and ALT are liver enzymes which tell about liver function. NORMAL LEVELS ARE 8-20 U/ml.
First of all, usually mildly
elevated liver enzymes do not hint towards any serious or long term liver problem. There are multiple reasons for these elevations-
Few conditions which mild elevation in liver enzymes include
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection,
Infectious mononucleosis which are viral infections, being overweight, taking OTC drugs like Paracetamol, few other pain killers etc.
We need to exclude some other possibilities for elevation of AST, ALT(liver enzymes) like Alcoholic hepatitis and due to excess fats such as-
Cholelithiasis (Gall bladder stones), Cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder),
autoimmune hepatitis,
Hypothyroidism etc. Usually, there would be 10 - 100 times than that of normal, SGOT and SGPT elevation in case of
acute hepatitis and <10 times than that of normal in case of obstruction in bile circulation.
