What are normal liver levels?

I recently got my full body checkup results, and the liver function part had a few numbers. Could someone please tell me what are the normal liver levels I should be looking for?

I totally understand the anxiety when looking at liver reports. For SGPT and SGOT, anything below 40-45 U/L is normal, and bilirubin should be under 1.2. Don't stress yourself out; minor elevations are very common and easily treatable.

I was reading up on the liver function test. Bilirubin should be 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL, and ALT/AST under 40. It's really interesting how these different markers tell us exactly how the liver is filtering stuff.

Look, simply put, your SGPT/SGOT should be under 40 and bilirubin under 1.2. If it is 50-60, don't panic, but stop eating heavy junk food immediately. Go see a doctor and get an ultrasound done if he advises.

With my PCOS, I have to keep checking my liver profile as insulin resistance can affect it. Normal SGPT is usually under 40. I always prefer discussing the reports with my endocrinologist rather than guessing on my own.

The body has its own beautiful way of healing when we live mindfully. Normally, liver enzymes like SGPT should stay below 40. Keep your mind calm, eat fresh home-cooked meals, and let the doctor guide you.

Bilirubin should be under 1.2 and SGPT under 40. If you are planning a checkup, compare prices online because standard Liver Function Tests (LFT) are much cheaper when bundled with regular health packages.

Yes, keeping SGPT and SGOT below 40 U/L is the standard. Just make sure you avoid self-medicating with strong painkillers, as they can stress the liver.

I have seen many LFT reports over the years in my family. Typically, SGPT/SGOT should be under 40 and total bilirubin under 1.2. Don't worry, just consult your doctor to see if any simple lifestyle tweak is needed.

My liver enzymes shot up to 90 after a bad bout of viral fever. The doctor told me normal is below 40. It took me a month of simple boiled food and complete rest to get them back to normal.

Please don't listen to people online selling miracle liver detox juices. Normal enzymes should be under 40, but if yours are high, only a certified doctor can tell you why. Get a proper LFT done from an accredited lab.

Normal ALT and AST should be under 40 U/L. If you train hard, sometimes muscle breakdown can slightly raise AST. Make sure you are hydrated and getting proper recovery alongside your workouts.

For diabetics, keeping liver enzymes like SGPT below 40 is very important because fatty liver is common. I am very careful with my diet, avoiding sweets and heavy fats to keep both my sugar and liver in normal ranges.
