The complete liver function tests (LFT) include liver enzymes SGPT, SGOT which accurately reflects level of liver inflammation (secondary to infection, toxins, etc): also Alkaline Phosphatase reflects extent of obstruction to bile flow. In your query, liver enzymes are omitted: but the other results are within normal limits.
Next Steps
for a comprehensive opinion, please list the full LFT (plus USG abdomen, viral markers, etc)
Health Tips
it is always better to err on side of safety, by getting a second opinion in person (with pediatric gastroenterologist)
