    The document outlines various liver function tests (LFTs) including levels of total and direct bilirubin, which can indicate bile duct obstruction or increased red blood cell destruction. It also lists normal ranges for serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT/AST), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT/ALT), alkaline phosphatase, serum proteins, lipids, and cholesterol, noting that abnormalities in their levels may be associated with liver cell injury, necrosis of other organs, biliary tract infections, or bone destruction. The LFTs can help detect and monitor liver diseases like cirrhosis and hepatitis.
