Bro, my hostel mate just got his checkup done and was talking about his liver counts. He said the doctor told him SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) should ideally be under 40-50. Mine were also in that range when I got my yearly medical done. But yeah, if you're worried, best to ask a doctor directly.
For liver function, they usually look at enzymes like ALT and AST, and also bilirubin. A healthy range for ALT and AST is generally below 40-50 U/L. With my high BP, I make sure to get regular checkups that include liver function, as liver health is closely linked to overall metabolic health. Always follow up with your doctor on the exact numbers.
Managing diabetes involves keeping an eye on liver health too. My doctor reviews my ALT and AST levels, usually aiming for them to be below 40-50. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding excessive processed foods really helps maintain these levels. But please, always take your doctor's specific advice on what counts are normal for your condition.
The 'normal' liver function counts generally refer to the levels of liver enzymes such as ALT and AST. For most healthy adults, these usually fall below 40-50 IU/L. However, these ranges can vary slightly between different labs and depending on individual factors. It's always prudent to consult a medical professional who can interpret your specific test results in context.

Okay, so ALT and AST are the main ones. Are there any other 'liver counts' that are important? I'm just trying to understand what to look for when I see a report. Does diet also impact these numbers a lot?
I track my health quite actively, and liver enzymes like ALT and AST are part of routine checkups. Ideally, they should be under 40-50. Regular exercise and a clean diet really support liver function. If your doctor clears it, even a brisk daily walk can make a difference.
