 Liver function tests that are persistently abnormal should have further evaluation. Your laboratory testing appears to be extensive. If you have risk factors for steatohepatitis (fatty liver)(for example high cholesterol or triglycerides, diabetes, obesity) I would consider talking to your physician about a liver biopsy. | ||||||||
