Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

What is the unit of this test? Is it 7 U/l? If so, such result does not indicate any issue. This test in general is used to detect high liver enzyme level. High level can be present due to many liver diseases. Low level is negligible.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
