Hi every body hope all are ok

Has anybody after a few years still got high alt and alp s

Mine are 303 alt and 244 alp

[Hidden]

Hiya, My alp is still higher than it should be (254), ive been on urso nearly 2.5 years. Waiting to hear what second line therapy my consultant will suggest. I don’t know what my ALT is now, they don’t tend to focus on it. Have you got a plan as to what they are going to do for you? X

[janine541 in reply to Hidden]

Hi thankyou for responding. I'm on ursal and have the powders to stop the itch. But my consultant is waiting to see my bloods again in October before more treatment

[Hidden in reply to janine541]

My consultant has been waiting and seeing too, now I’ve got to the stage where I don’t want to wait any longer. How long have you been on urso?

[janine541 in reply to Hidden]

I was on it 4 years but came off for 6 months and then went back on it

[Jennyhadenough in reply to janine541]

How long have you had pbc and aih

[Hidden]

Hi Janine541

What meds are you taking just now for the PBC and what are you taking for the AIH ?

[janine541 in reply to Hidden]

Hi I'm on ursal and questrain light. Not on anything for AIH because I only had traces in my liver biopsy

[Hidden in reply to janine541]

Maybe time to start you on some. Your alp didn’t look too bad, I was on Urso for 6 1/2 years and didn’t get to that, I’m now on Ocaliva for pbc and been on azathioprine for the aih ,

[janine541 in reply to Hidden]

Are what are your alt and alp please

[Hidden in reply to janine541]

Now my alp is in the 300’s not sure what my alt is at moment . I am overdue my bloods, I get them taken monthly.

The Ocaliva has dropped my alp as it had started going up with the Urso and Urso never got it down to acceptable levels.

Can’t remember what my alt was when I was diagnosed with the aih ,when I was I was put on steroids for about 6 months and the azathioprine. After I stopped the steroids I continued with maintenance dose of azathioprine .

[janine541 in reply to Hidden]

I've had a phone call today from my consultant she wants an urgent review

[Hidden in reply to janine541]

I’m not surprised with your alt number which I reckon is your aih. I won’t be surprised if you get put on a course of steroids and immune suppressants . Please keep us posted .

[janine541 in reply to Hidden]

Aww thank you for the reply . I was always told that this was a slow progression.

[Ellewoods1]

I have been on Ursodial since 2016. My levels are all within range now but increased whoever I gained weight and an ultrasound showed fatty liver. I lost 36 pounds and my liver is no longer fatty and the Urso has my levels down thankfully. Now I have PBC and the fatty liver to always keep in check. I’m still grateful!

[janine541]
