ALBUMIN 3.7 g/dL 3.5 - 5.0 g/dL
BILIRUBIN, TOTAL 0.2 mg/dL 0.2 - 1.0 mg/dL
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE 75 IU/L 30 - 120 IU/L

Note: Mayo Clinic says a BUN of 7 is normal. Basically I'm fine. Daily drinking of kava for 8 months, even in large quantities, does not appear to be harming my liver. The main ones to look at, the enzymes that would be leaking if there were problems, are the ALT and AST numbers, and also the ratio between them. Both are pretty good for me.
