What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?

Hi! I am a 44 year old female that drinks wine. I had blood work done - did fast 8 hours before but had wine prior to the 8 hour mark. My ast is 37, my alt is 30, phosphate: 38, albumin/globulin ratio: 2.0, phosphate: 3.9, bilirubin: .06, and albumin:,5.1, triglycerides: 45, direct bilirubin: .01, bun: 15. Do you think I have fatty liver?

Hi,

Some fat is normally present in liver. However, if the total fat in liver is more than 5-10%, of total weight of liver, then it is said to be fatty liver. In fatty liver, normally liver enzymes are raised and usually a level of 2-4 times of upper normal limit of AST and ALT must be present in fatty liver. As in your case, all the biological parameters tested are almost in normal range, therefore you are not likely to have fatty liver.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
