27 years old male, heavy drinker for the past 11 years.I have been having this terrible pain on the right side, just below the ribs, gets worse when laughing or when I sleep on the same side.
Also, my palms are red with visible dilated veins all over.
Went to the doctor, last year and an abdominal ultrasound was done, which showed no abnormalities.
Saw the GP again yesterday, because the pain is now becoming worse. No scan was done (doctor doesn't believe I have liver disease)
LFTs as follows;
ALT 21.9 U/L (Reference range 0-45)
AST 32.1 U/L (Reference range 0-35)
GGT 24.9 U/L (Reference range 0-55)
ALP 24.9 U/L (Reference range 64-309)
What can be the cause of extremely low ALP?
With AST/ALT ratio of 1.5, according to the internet it means I have cirrhosis
What can you say about that?
Help please!
