Blood work and scans

Hi everyone, I recently had my blood work carried out and the following were highlighted for being higher than they should. Could anyone kindly give me their opinion on them?

AST - 42

ALT - 53

MCV - 99.3

Red cell folate - 255

Gamma GT - 100

Phosphate - 0.75

Ferritin - 643

25 OH Vitamin - 17

My GP didn’t really seen that concerned and prescribed me a vitamin D injection and Folic acid.

I would, however, like to follow up on this by getting a private scan. Can anyone offer suggestions as which would be best - MRI, CT, ETC.

Many thanks

Do you have haemochromotosis (the spelling may be wrong, even though I’ve got this I can never spell it!). I ask because the ferritin seems high? If not get it checked. Good luck. Steve

MRE, not MRI, those labs means very little to most people ,every lab has different ranges for their blood work, good luck!
