    8–48 U/L
    Women, 14+
    8–43 U/L
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

  • Platelet Count

    The number of platelets, the small blood cells that help your blood clot, in a sample of your blood.

    Adults
    150–450 ×10³/µL
  • Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Score

    A blood score made from three proteins linked to liver scarring. It helps estimate the risk of advanced scarring and of liver problems getting worse.

    Men
    7–9.9 score
    Women
    6.6–9.3 score
