@pdsfoley, I'd like to extend a welcome to Connect. Since you have posted in the Liver Disease Group, Am I correct to assume that you are concerned about a current or potential liver disease diagnosis?
When I was first thought to have a liver issue, my doctor told me that a single lab is a 'moment' in time. So when my own liver functions were elevated but everything else was normal, he ordered another lab test several weeks later-and included instructions about any prescription medications, over-the-counter medications or supplements, and alcohol.
@pdsfoley, Your doctor, the one who ordered your labs' is the only person who can tell you what these labs mean for you because only he/she knows of any contributing factors. When will you be able to talk to your doctor about this?

@rosemarya yes I have an appointment next week. I was just asked in general if those numbers were way out of line
Thanks for your help
