Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase level
I had a blood test conducted by my GP surgery. One of the test, not my normal profile, was this: Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase level (XaES3) 118 iu/L [reference range 0 - 59] I do understand that it's a liver test, and my other LFT's were normal. Any incite to the meaning of this test in respect

liver ast/alt
Good day, i recently got Bloodwork done. My billirubine was raised 71u/mol and AST 81. My ALT was 25, GGT normal and ALP also. I was a binge drinker for 15 years. Never drank daily. My fear is cirrhosis, with the ast alt ratio. Have had 2 ultrasounds that were complete normal and 1 MRI with out contrast

A really long post, I’m sorry.
Hello, this might turn into a ramble, so apologies in advance. My husband was diagnosed with F3/F4 Bridging fibrosis about 6 weeks ago. It’s been a very emotional and scary few weeks made worse by lots of googling! I found this forum this week, and since reading, feel a lot more positive going forward

Hi Taar
A couple of years ago when I was particularly unwell, my 1st paracentesis was scary, a bit unknown. The pain reducing injection was was a sharp sting, but nothing worse. Insertion of the the drain tube felt "uncomfortable" but nothing worse. During the drain over several hours they also replenished

Some advice re draining fluid?
11m post transplant. Had a clinic at QE today. Not feeling too good, feeling tired, bloated etc. Have gained about 8-10kg since March. They (bless 'em) fitted me in for an ultrasound, and found "pockets of free fluid." Is this the same as ascites? Can you get ascites after transplant...? Didn't

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence

Ultrasonographer said fatty liver and nothing sinister
He then said he couldn't say more and I had to discuss with my GP to decide if further tests were necessary. This arose because I have osteoporosis and my ALP was elevated at 198. They checked my GGT which was 54 and ALT 44. This was on 26th July. Checked again 9th August and ALP 196, ALT 40 and

PBC or fatty liver
Does this sound like fatty liver or PBC? I was diagnosed 9 years ago with mild fatty liver. They were checking for PBC because I had a ama m2 of 69 and a mildly elevated Alt. I lost weight and my Alt came down. US showed an enlarged liver and biopsy showed only mild fatty liver. I went back to Hepa last

CLL itching
I am convinced that my constant itching problem is a direct result of my condition. Itching has increased over the years and now constant . My only relief is alcohol and THC laced Gummies . All other suggestions would be appreciated .

Symptoms suddenly taking a turn for the worse
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, and have some questions to ask, but also want to share my RLS story, as well as some things that I have found helpful in living with RLS. I have had RLS for over 40 years. At first it was fairly easily controlled with a good run or long walk, and later with magnesium

So much confusion so much pain
I tell you I struggle every day. I look at pics of my wife from this time last year, 2 years ago 3 years ago. My wife was never a drinker. We had a glass of wine at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Every now and then, maybe once or twice a year. She would have a drink at our friends. When we moved
