All my LFTs has been normal for years. I recently had a flare-up of Diverticulitis, also a UTI and a hospital stay of 2-1/2 days. My LFTs, for the first-time ever, were really elevated. By the time I left the hospital, they all went back to normal except the AST but it keeps coming down. My FibroScan shows on the cusp of F1/F2, S3 about 8 months ago. Ultrasound shows the beginning of F3. The ultrasound in the hospital showed normal liver/spleen and normal echo texture, liver normal echogenicity. I had 4 CT scan in ER said my liver was normal, a total of 5 but 1 said it wasn’t, within 2 years. I don’t meet with the liver nurse (I’m in the US) until 2/29 to get her take on things. Also, 11 years ago, I had alcoholic hepatitis. So, my question is can a bad flare-up of the diverticulitis/UTI be the cause of my sudden rise in my LFTs. Oh, my GGT was normal. I haven’t drank in 7 years. I know the liver nurse is thinking about a biopsy on my liver. Any thoughts please.
