Hello to all that have sent me posts. I have received a letter from the doctor which says my LFTs and Gamma GT are raised in association with positive antimitochondrial antibodies. My LFTs are mildly abnormal. If anyone understands this I would be grateful for any help. I am on ursodeoxycholic acid

Did you get any answer to your letter. I basically have same, and I don't understand how and if the LFT's are indicators of the disease and understanding the positive ama. I take ursodeoxcholic acid for 1 and 1/2 year. I find it all a bit confusing.
