S.bilirubin (total) 9.5. S.bilirubin ( Direct) 6.9. S.bilirubin ( indirect) 2.60. S.G.O.T 140.SGPT 140. S.Alkaline Phosphatase-275.0 Total Protein 7.0 Albumin-2.3.Globulin- 4.70. A/G Ratio-0.49 Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,The liver function test report suggests deranged liver functions.There is elevation of total, direct and indirect bilirubin.The liver enzymes- SGOT and SGPT are also raised.The rise in above mentioned parameters suggest damage to liver cells (hepatocytes).The damage to hepatocytes can ossur due to a number of causes eg. infection, drugs, toxins, etc.An increase in alkaline phosphatase suggests some pathological process in the extra-hepatic biliary tract.A previous history of liver cirrhosis indicates a previous insult to the liver.Consult your treating doctor for liver biopsy, diagnosis of the current pathology in the liver and further management.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal
