Just need some honest opinions
34 year old male, drinking since age 18. Pretty good shape, not overweight, pretty active, eating fairly healthy. Started drinking at parties and socially and went 2 + years in the span from 18-24 without drinking at all. Started drinking heavier (usually 4-5 drinks per night) around 2013-2014. Since

High GGT?
I got a GGT result of 108 in May and immediately stopped drinking. I never drank more than 2 glasses of wine a night. My test results today were 60. I thought they would be back to normal. My AST was normal and ALT was just slightly elevated. 4 points over acceptable range. Should I be worried?

Another update!
Hello all I've had my letter from the consultant come regarding my latest results. I've gone from severe fatty liver to mild fatty liver, and borderline cirrhosis to normal! My liver contour is now as it should be so I'm very pleased. As I still have mild fatty liver I will continue to lose weight

Bilirubin
Hi All, Does anybody know if you can have raised Bilirubin levels, but no trace on a urine strip? Is that how it works? Or does the high Bilirubin always show in urine? Thanks for any input

Support for me
Hello, My mum has recently been re-admitted to hospital. I spoke to the alcohol nurse this morning who confirmed her Bilirubin is 172 and Alkaline Phosphate is 407, both more than triple what they should be. The nurse expressed concern given the rapid deterioration in my mums liver functioning and they

Diet for fatty liver?
After a bad relapse with alcohol my blood numbers had all gotten raised again, the doctors did tests and say while they are coming down and I don't have cirrhosis I shouldn't drink again and I have fatty liver. Other than staying off alcohol is there a diet I should be sticking too for this? While

Variceal bleed
Last week wasn't fun. I had recently read the book by The Reverend Richard Coles "The Madness of Grief"- most unwise and I don't recommend it. His husband died from chronic alcoholism and a bleed. On Wednesday I started throwing up a lot of blood. Was on my own, terrified and convinced I was dying, called

Ultrasound Result after Elevated ALP
I got my US result this morning and it states that Liver is slightly echogenic possibly due to fatty infiltration. My family doctor thinks it is a fatty liver but I should get a second opinion from specialist. I have scheduled an appointment with gastro on August 24th which is the earliest they have.
