Is a liver function of

1.3 a good level?

Did you have a blood test?

There’s no one blood test for “liver function,” so it’s difficult to say. Usually, you’ll have a liver panel which measures five or six different things such as your AST, ALT, and bilirubin. Do you happen to have the results and does it say exactly what the 1.3 is for? A result of 1.3 would be very different for each of those. Or it could even be your AST/ALT ratio. Only when we know which test it was can your question be answered.

Thank you it says it’s an alt.

Wouldn’t it be better to talk to your doctor (or whoever decided you needed this test)?

Usually, for liver function, doctors are only concerned about an elevated ALT result. 1.3 would be a below-normal ALT result. As you can see on this page about the ALT test, they don’t even list any liver diseases associated with low results, nor do they mention them. www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/alanine-aminotransferase-test

But you should still discuss this with your doctor. There are one or two things that can cause low ALT, such as vitamin B6 deficiency or smoking, that they may feel you are or are not at risk for based on other symptoms. And obviously, if you’re experiencing whatever symptoms led them to call for a liver panel in the first place, then you need to speak to them.
