A/G and bilirubin

hello! I know that this isn’t the place to ask for help interpreting results, but does anyone know what A/G and bilirubin refer to compared to ALT and AST? Just in general terms?? Thanks so much :)

"A total protein and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio test measures the total amount of protein in your blood."

Bilirubin can tell about liver status (also about bile ducts).

Thanks! I guess I'm confused because my doc said both were linked to my liver but then it seems really unclear how and what it's telling me about my liver

The PBC foundation has really good information on understanding blood test results relating to your liver. Even if you don’t have PBC the “know your numbers” section may be helpful
