I have had NAFLD (Non Alcohol Fatty Liver Disease) since 2014.
Just before lockdown in March my ALT came back high at 85,then two weeks later even higher at 125 ! The GP then diagnosed me with Medication induced Hepatitis. He took me straight off my Statin and told me to have a blood test in the next 3 to 4 months. Since then I have noticed that the whites of my eyes are yellowish and I have little to no energy.
I'm due for my bloods to be redone next week. Do you think I should ask for a Fibroscan too ? And are the symptoms I'm having in line with Liver Disease ? Tia.

I am sorry to hear you have had issues with your liver blood tests recently. If you think the whites of your eyes are going yellow then you should certainly let your GP know, ideally in person rather than over the phone.
A fibroscan is a useful tool in assessing for fibrosis. If your GP is reluctant to refer you for this perhaps they could arrange for you to have an Enhanced Liver Fibrosis test (ELF) or Fib-4 test - both of these are done with a blood test and will give a score which will give information on the level of fibrosis in your liver.
It is important that you know how well your liver is doing with regard to the NAFLD and that you are followed up appropriately. There are NICE guidelines for GP's on how to manage patients with NAFLD.
I expect you have had a look at our publication on NAFLD but just in case you haven't - here is the link to this, Liver Tests and their meaning and the Patient Charter which tells you what you should expect from your care:
