LFT interpretation

A

ALT / AST = transaminases - more liver specific and indicative of hepatic damage

ALP produced in other areas of body so less liver specific. If associated with raised GGT suggests cholestatic picture = obstruction to flow

Albumin (synthesised in liver) commonly low in liver disease
