Mine was low, just out of range. I read it is seen in people who drink too much and seen in alcoholics withdrawing in hospital. Other things could be thyroid? Kidney? I think. I’m not a doctor.

What caused yours? My LFTs are good, it could be water tablet causing mine to be low, docs say.

I was drinking a fair bit and had just quit two days before. Think it’s probably that for me.

I liked my drink but not had one for 6 months. Still convinced I’ve got cirrhosis but had two normal blood panels, so trying to believe doctors. Did you have repeat blood tests, scans etc?

I’m the same constant worry. I haven’t had follow up bloods. Ultrasound was fine except gall stone. Pushed for a fibroscan. Having it next week.

Worrysome1,Ultrasound and fibroscan will make you sleep well. Blood tests are not relevant in early stages of liver dissease.

What part of " you don't have a liver problem" do you not understand? Your paranoia is identical to worriesalot l believe she has joined the anxiety forum ?
