That clears it up nicely thanks, although now I’m deeply disturbed to know there is such a thing as ‘bile salt’. Thanks for the info!

Yeah but you’ve never been yellow. 😛

Yeah, at one point my AST was 298 and my ALT was 567.

OK, well you’d know better than I. But I was close!

And I’m pleased to see that a) your AST and ALT are so low and b) that my AST and ALT are below yours. 🙂

Actually, the acceptable ranges are as follows:

bilirubin: 0-1.2, mine is 0.5
AST: 0-37, mine is 42
ALT: 7-51, mine is 87
Albumin: 3.5-5.0, mine is 4.2
