So, looking at the various blood panels they show the ALT(SGPT) at 15 Units/L with the Range being (0 - 33) so that seems pretty good. I am not seeing an ALP, but I think this is what they are using Alk Phos at 73 Units/L with the range being (35 - 105) so here again this seems pretty good. Yes, I had to move her from her house where she had live alone for a long time to a Memory Care Facility about 5 weeks ago, she is bewildered, confused, doesn't want to eat or drink, insists she doesn't have an appetite, and has been steadily dropping weight, they just recently put her on an appetite stimulant to try and get her to eat. She adamantly believes she don't need any part of this, but once you're around her for a bit it's pretty obvious we're here because there aren't any other options based on her cognitive ability.
