Understanding your results
Raised ALT and AST suggest liver cell irritation, which can be seen with fatty liver, infections, alcohol or medicines. Raised bilirubin causes jaundice. A raised alkaline phosphatase can come from the bile ducts or bones. Your doctor may advise an ultrasound or further tests depending on the pattern.
