blood tests

[Rocco987]

hi everyone. First time using this site - just wanted to touch base my first blood test results in a while. Doc wants to speak to me next week over phone

some lfts look normal - some moderately high- iron levels very high

drink around 30 units a week which I know is too much

should I be concerned around these results? . I’m 48 , cholesterol is 3 which is good and bmi 23 so not overweight.

Stop drinking 30 units a week and you will be fine. It's not more complicated than that. Good luck.

You could have and Iron issue, but can be solved by giving blood. But I would stop the 30 units until the Dr has done his thing. GGT is up a little, need to find out why.
