I think those ranges are typically listed as:


SGOT (Serum Glutamic-Oxalocetic Transaminase - AST)


Normal Adult Range: 0 - 42 U/L
Optimal Adult Reading: 21


SGPT (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase - ALT)


Normal Adult Range: 0 - 48 U/L
Optimal Adult Reading: 24

Not sure where you got your info, Tex. I googled it and found this article. I don't think I have anything to worry about.

You're very welcome.

I got that info from this site, which has a complete coverage of everything normally listed in a CBC, including liver enzymes:

You're quite correct, though, your numbers look good.
