Sick with worry .. gamma GGT level 159 and ALT 62
Evening all, I’m just looking for some advice or guidance really on my recent blood test results following up on the pain I’ve had in my right hand side upper abdomen. As the title suggests, my GGT has come back very high at 159 (think the average for a woman is under 30) and ALT is also above the

Creatinine and LDH
I have hashimoto's and I have been seeing a functional medicine doctor because my endocrinologist was not helping. He recently ran a bunch of labs. Both my creatinine and LDH were lab low. Does anyone know what that would mean and if is connected with my thyroid in any way?

Liver Transplant - Lest we forget
When a person embarks on a liver journey, there are many people involved in their treatment over possibly many years. There are a multitude of medical professionals who become involved. These may range from the gastroenterologist who in turn refers their patient to a hepatologist. All the imagery people

Fibroscan results
Hi, My husband’s fibroscan came back with a KPA of 21.5 and the hepetologist has said he has significant bridging fibrosis - she actually said that he doesn’t have cirrhosis (said multiple times) and that at this stage he can still reverse it if he loses weight? What confuses me is that everywhere

Pharmacist denied medication
Hesitant to post this. Opinions run strong on subject. My regular (+1yr) pharmacist called to tell me she was denying my regular pain med fill due to increased usage of thc. Shocked. She advised me to find another pharmacy that sells both THC and pain medication (doesn’t exist) and talk to my doctor.
